Every financial decision is personal, and having the right guidance can make all the difference. Whether you're protecting your family's future, preparing for retirement, safeguarding your income, planning for your business, or preparing for the unexpected, you deserve solutions tailored to your goals – not a one-size-fits-all recommendation.
Some insurance and financial planning decisions are straightforward. Others require more research, comparison, and problem-solving. That's where I can help. By taking the time to understand your situation and clearly explain your options, I help you make informed decisions with confidence.
My entrepreneurial journey began at 14 when I started my own lawn care business in my hometown of Glenwood, Minnesota. I later attended St. Cloud State University, studying Political Science and International Relations with coursework in strategic planning, organizational development, human resources, ethics, and public budgeting. Those experiences shaped my analytical approach and commitment to putting people first.
I work with individuals, families, and business owners to develop strategies for life insurance, disability income insurance, long-term care insurance, Medicare Supplement insurance, annuities, critical illness insurance, accident insurance, accidental death coverage, and employee benefits. Through Mutual of Omaha and access to a broad network of trusted insurance and financial providers, I can compare a wide range of solutions to help find the best fit for your needs.
Based in Minnesota, I proudly serve clients throughout the state and am also licensed in Arizona, California, and Michigan. Outside of work, I enjoy history, board games, traveling, and meeting new people.
