"My Impact Will Always Be Remembered" 


The WHY statement above is the relentless motivator everyday to impact my client relationships, community members, and most of all my family. I enjoy being a connector within the community and use my platform to elevate people and businesses personally, professionally, and financially. 


My work locally on the Lakeshore is to bring value through creative solutions to everyday "what ifs". These "what if's" traditionally come in the form of planning financially for the future of families and closely held businesses. Instead of just focusing on the numbers, my desire is to understand what money means to you and build an effective plan that allows for clarity, and true financial independence. 


Specialties Include: 

Wealth and Investment Management

Employee Retention Strategies 

Business Succession and Buy-Sell Funding

Education Funding

Retirement Distribution Planning

Life, Disability, and Long Term Care Insurance Planning 


You would also find me facilitating the local Ottawa County Guys Who Give Chapter - a local philanthropic organization designed as a catalyst to give to those in need within the community. 


When I am not face to face with clients, or out in the community my passions are playing hockey and golf and above all to make memories traveling with my beautiful wife Ashley, and sons Smith and Brooks.

Nexus Benefit Solutions

I'm a benefits advisor with Nexus Benefit Solutions, an independent benefits consulting firm serving employers across West Michigan. As an independent firm, we have no incentive to favor any particular carrier or product — my clients get unbiased guidance and solutions built around their needs and budget, not someone else's agenda.

I take a hands-on approach to every client relationship, evaluating all available coverage options so clients are fully informed and confident in what they're getting. By keeping my client load small, I'm able to offer a level of personalized service and attention that larger firms simply can't match.

I'm proud to work with a wide range of clients — businesses, nonprofits, and individuals — helping them find the right coverage while keeping costs in check. If you're looking for a responsive, knowledgeable partner who is genuinely invested in your success, I'd love to connect.
