My goal is to provide quality service that meets or exceeds your expectations. I will help you design and track your financial goals, explaining challenges and rewards along the way. I will always act in your best interest and with the greatest of integrity.

I started my career in financial services July of 2007. Before working with Montana Wealth Management, I worked with Opportunity Bank of Montana, Rocky Mountain Credit Union, and UBS Wealth Management. I also worked in the life, property, and auto insurance industry with Country Financial and Farmers insurance.

During my career, I have owned my own successful business and been an employee of others. Both helping to mold me to who I am today. This has given me a solid understanding of the financial needs of individuals and small businesses alike. I maintain a FINRA Series 7 and 66 securities registrations through LPL Financial as well as life and health insurance licenses.

I started my career in financial planning immediately after graduating from Montana State University in 2014, with a degree in Business Finance. I joined Montana Wealth Management in 2019 after running a solo practice for five years. I enjoy helping people define their financial goals and plan for them in a way that is easy to understand.

I am originally from Chinook, Montana moved to Missoula in 2019 with my wife Marian, our daughter, and our dogs Bernard (Yorkie) and Murphy (French Bulldog).

In my spare time, I enjoy traveling, cooking, concerts, exploring new breweries, and taking advantage of all our great state has to offer.

As an Investment Executive, I am dedicated to helping my clients pursue their financial needs. Whether you are planning for your retirement, saving for your children’s or grandchildren’s education, or looking to grow, preserve, or transfer your wealth, I can help.

In 1987, I graduated from the University of Montana with a degree in Business Administration with a Finance Core, and an Economics Minor. I have been in the financial services field for over 30 years, with the last 16 years dedicated specifically to the Securities Industry.

Away from the office, I enjoy the things that make Montana such a special place – fishing, hiking, and spending time with family and friends. My wife Bridgit and I are parents to three adult children and 2 grandchildren.

I hold the series 7, 63, and 66 registrations through LPL Financial, as well as a Montana Insurance License. Giving back to the community is important to me as I have been a Lieutenant Governor with Kiwanis, and was previously on the board with Marias Medical Center in Shelby and Great Falls Central Catholic High School here in Great Falls. I have also volunteered as a baseball and wrestling coach. My wife and I live in Great Falls and we have two children.
