In a small town in Wisconsin my parents put a golf club in my hands for the first time when I was 5 years old. In 1996 I graduated from New Mexico State University with a double major in Business and Golf Management. In 2010 I transitioned my career from helping people enjoy the game of golf, to helping people build their financial success. Planning is at the heart of everything we do. If you want a good relationship with your Wealth Advisor, you’ll like working with us, if you love golf, you’ll like working with us even more.

A personalized approach to managing wealth
Preparation and planning are essential to build and maintain wealth. We coach and implement strategies to help some clients “take the lead” in the retirement planning match. For other clients, we skillfully help them “keep the lead” on their successful retirement. With Wealth Management and Golf, the conditions can change a little or a lot. Doing the research, developing a good plan, staying disciplined, looking at all the information, and repeating these steps is a strategy designed for success.
Services we offer
Education Planning
How you borrow and manage cash can be as important to the success of your wealth plan as having the appropriate investment strategy. That’s why we offer you a complete suite of cash management, banking and lending tools that give you the power to take advantage of your unique opportunities.
Financial Planning
Whether planning to build a home by the lake or help your daughter launch a business, you need a well-conceived plan in order to succeed. Pursuing financial independence is no different. Whether you’re looking to grow your money over time, generate income in retirement or preserve wealth for future generations, confidence in your financial plan comes with knowing your assets are invested well.
Investment Management
As your dedicated financial guide, we carefully develop an investment strategy for you based on your unique goals and needs using institutional-quality portfolio options. Managed by a seasoned team of professional investment managers, Raymond James Freedom portfolios employ a disciplined, systematic process to manage risk and return – all backed by award-winning research and due diligence.
Investment Strategies
Our team of professionals unlocks a number of choices for your portfolio. We offer experienced guidance for selecting alternative investments, separately managed and unified managed accounts, managed discretionary accounts, wrap accounts, structured products and options, along with traditional offerings such as equities, fixed income, annuities, mutual funds and exchange-traded funds.
Longevity Planning
Many of today's retirees can expect to spend 30 years or more enjoying the fruits of their labor. That's why it's increasingly important not simply to plan for retirement, but to plan for longevity in retirement - all of the years it might last, all of the ways your life will change and all of the events you can't foresee.
Portfolio Management
As your trusted partner, we help you pursue your goals by constructing, managing and monitoring a broadly diversified portfolio that is fully customized to suit your needs. Through clear communication, we help you understand what you own and why, placing your best interests above all else.
Retirement Planning
We understand that there should be no compromise when it comes to your financial future. That’s why we work diligently to serve as the ultimate steward for your wealth, simplifying life’s complexities with a full spectrum of strategies for a tailored plan that we believe is the only one you’ll ever need.
