CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER^TM, Certified Investment Management Analyst(R)

My Background

Growing up around family steel fabrication, animal health, and wealth management businesses, I learned from an early age that working hard and having a positive vision are two extremely important attributes in business and in life. These attributes help you build meaningful relationships and make a true impact in the world. 

I was born and raised in Northern Colorado. I graduated from Fossil Ridge High School in Fort Collins and then the University of Colorado in Boulder. After several years of working in Boulder, I came home by shifting my career to Northern Colorado in 2021. Serving clients at Peakview Wealth Management excites me every day. I also serve as Secretary of the Big Thompson Kiwanis Club in Loveland. I met my wife Danielle at CU and she is a Pediatric Occupational Therapist in Greeley. We enjoy spending ample time with family, serving together at our church, and staying active in the outdoors.

My Biography

I graduated with distinction from the Leeds School of Business at the University of Colorado, concentrating in Finance and Financial Planning. I have also completed Executive Education in Investment Management at the Yale School of Management.
