Additional Information

My professional purpose changed when my wife and I were blessed to go from having 1 child to 5 children in just 2.5 years. That wasn’t built into our financial plan!

Today, I help parents and families make sense of and maximize their financial lives. What I’ve found is that even some of the smartest people make small, consistent mistakes with their finances. And over time, these mistakes – if left unchecked – can cost you thousands of dollars in excess taxes, fees, and opportunity cost.

By providing direction and accountability in my clients’ financial lives, I help them get the right answers to their questions before problems arise. In short, I manage the financial future for you, so you can spend more time today focusing on the other meaningful areas of your life.

I’m a Certified Financial Planner® professional who has spent the last 10+ years in the financial services industry. My practice revolves around three key phrases:

-Life is NOT a straight line (see above: 4 kids in 2.5 years!)
-Focus on financial factors YOU can control
-Where does your money go, and why?

You’ll find me talking about these a bunch in my blog.

There’s more to life than work, though.

My wife, Jill, and I were married in 2008. We have five kids: Jackson, Thomas, Charley, AnnaMay (twin girls), and Sutton. We love watching our kids play sports and both Jill and I coach their teams – sometimes we even coach together! We also love to go the beach and we spend time in the summers in Rehoboth Beach, DE.

If I’m not managing the future for clients or with my amazing wife & five kids, you might find me coaching, cooking, golfing, or playing cribbage.
