Managing finances has been a lifelong commitment for me, dating back to my early days with a paper route at the age of 10. Even then, I recognized the importance of saving and investing. Half of my earnings were diligently tucked away into CD accounts, earmarked for future educational pursuits, while the other half was playfully "invested" in football and baseball cards, though with mixed success. Nevertheless, this disciplined approach enabled me to emerge from college without the burden of debt.
Before embarking on my journey as a Financial Advisor, I honored my entrepreneurial spirit by running my own business, where I taught private music lessons and worked as a freelance professional musician. This experience provided me with an invaluable understanding of how hard individuals, especially self-employed and small business owners, work for their income.
Becoming a financial advisor was a natural progression for me. It's a role that allows me to leverage my expertise to assist clients in realizing their financial aspirations. I take great pride in cultivating meaningful relationships with my clients and am committed to providing them with tailored solutions that align with their unique goals and interests.
Beyond the confines of the office, my life is enriched by spending quality time with my beloved family and friends. Celebrating 25 years of marriage to my wife, Jeanine, this May, we've made Everett our home since 2002, and have become an integral part of the community. Our shared passions include fishing, gardening, and cooking together. During the summer months, we enjoy in cruising around town in my cherished heirloom, my grandfather's meticulously maintained 1963 Chevy Bel Air.
While rooted in Snohomish County for generations, my upbringing in Fairbanks, Alaska, instilled in me a deep appreciation for nature and the outdoors. I make it a priority to return to my Alaskan roots whenever possible, indulging in pursuits like hunting and fishing that reconnect me with my home.
