I didn’t set out to be a wealth strategist. My early focus was on one thing: becoming the best wrestler I could be. That mindset took me to the University of Illinois, where I earned an NCAA Division I national title. Wrestling taught me discipline, preparation, and how to perform under pressure — lessons that have guided me ever since.
After my competitive career, I found a new arena where those same skills mattered just as much: helping successful business owners and families navigate complex financial planning. I saw firsthand how hard they were working — creating value, building wealth — and yet giving up far too much to taxes and disjointed advice. I knew I could bring something different.
Today, I lead a wealth management firm focused on helping high-income professionals and entrepreneurs design smart, tax-efficient strategies that align their money with their goals. Whether it’s building a defined benefit plan, integrating a captive insurance strategy, or mapping out a business succession plan, I take a hands-on, collaborative approach.
I work closely with CPAs, attorneys, and insurance professionals to build coordinated, custom solutions that solve real problems — not just check boxes. My work is analytical and detailed, but deeply personal. I want clients to feel confident in their plan and clear on their future.
Outside of work, I coach and mentor young wrestlers. It’s my way of giving back to a sport that gave me so much — not just a championship, but a mindset and a mission. I’m also a proud husband and father, which keeps me grounded and reminds me what wealth is really for.
I believe that great financial planning blends precision and purpose. If you’re building something meaningful — a business, a legacy, a life of impact — I’d love to help you preserve and grow it.
Nobody can control the market, let alone tomorrow. But at Strong Valley you know that you always have someone in your corner looking out for what’s the very best for you.
