Personal

I enjoy spending time with my wife and black lab. If not cheering on the Iowa Hawkeyes, I also enjoy playing tennis at both the regional and national levels. I have been lucky enough to compete at USTA Nationals in 2017 and 2019. I have a passion to serve others through the High School Ministries program at my church and the Training Tables food distribution program.

In elementary school, I would ask my teachers for additional math problems with increasing difficulty. By third grade, I was able to help my older sister with her math homework. This was the spark that ignited my inspiration to help others with the analytical skills I had been given. 1 Peter 4:10 Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. I’m encouraged as I assist clients with their pursuit of personal goals and peace of mind through financial freedom.
