“My job is to help clients harness the power of compounding—not just in their investments, but in the financial decisions they make throughout their lives.”

Helping people navigate life’s financial transitions is what I enjoy most about being a financial advisor.

Whether preparing for retirement, selling a business, caring for aging parents, losing a loved one, or simply asking, “Am I making the right financial decisions?” life’s biggest moments often come with financial complexity. My passion is helping clients move through those transitions with clarity and confidence.

While investment returns matter, I believe the greatest long-term advantage comes from making thoughtful decisions consistently over time. Each tax strategy, estate planning conversation, retirement decision, and investment choice builds upon the last. Over decades, those decisions create something far greater than portfolio growth alone: confidence, opportunity, and financial freedom.

I’ve served clients as a financial advisor since 2013 and earned my CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ certification in 2020. I also hold bachelor’s degrees in Finance and Economics from the University of Utah. Those experiences have given me the technical foundation to help clients navigate complex financial decisions, but I’ve learned that the best advice begins with listening. Every client has a unique story, and every financial plan should reflect their goals, values, and vision for the future.

My approach is built around comprehensive planning. Investment management is only one piece of the equation. I work collaboratively with clients to integrate investment strategy, tax planning, retirement income, estate planning, and risk management into a coordinated plan that evolves as life changes. Through ongoing communication and trusted relationships, my goal is to help clients continue making confident financial decisions for years to come.

Ultimately, I don’t see my role as simply providing financial advice—I see it as partnering with clients through every stage of life. Together, we evaluate opportunities, navigate challenges, and make thoughtful decisions that build upon one another over time. My hope is that years from now, clients won’t simply look back at the growth of their portfolio—they’ll recognize the value of having a trusted partner helping them make great decisions along the way.

A lifelong Utahn, I’m grateful to call this state home. My wife, Kyndal, and I are raising our two sons here alongside our Golden Retriever, Riggs. Whether we’re skiing Utah’s mountains, hiking local trails, sneaking in a round of golf, or simply spending time together outdoors, my family is my greatest source of joy and purpose.

It’s also the lens through which I understand and serve my clients. I know that behind every financial decision is something much more important—a family to care for, a dream to pursue, a legacy to leave, or the freedom to spend more time with the people who matter most. That’s what thoughtful financial planning makes possible, and it’s why I love the work I do.
