I am joining forces with Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Northwest Indiana to ask YOU to become a champion for our kids!

Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Northwest Indiana provides safe and enriching environments for young people after school, offering programs focused on academic success, character and leadership development, and healthy lifestyles. Serving over 8,000 youth annually throughout their 10 Clubs in Lake and Porter Counties, they are committed to ensuring that every child has the opportunity to realize their full potential as productive, responsible, and caring citizens.

A bit about me...

Helping others has always been at the core of who I am. As a financial advisor in Valparaiso, I take a personal, relationship-driven approach—getting to know what matters most to you before we ever talk numbers. Whether you're planning for retirement, navigating a life change, or building a legacy, I work closely with your CPA, attorney, and other trusted professionals to create a strategy tailored to your unique goals. Finance can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face it alone. I’m here to walk with you one-on-one, offering guidance that helps you feel confident and informed every step of the way. I’ve had the privilege of working with a wide range of clients—including veterans, first responders, educators, and tradespeople—each reminding me why this work is so meaningful.

I’m a proud Portage native and a longtime resident of Valparaiso, where I live with my amazing wife, Marci, our daughter Emmy, and our Boston terrier, Vinny—with a baby boy on the way in August 2025. After earning my business degree from Indiana University Northwest in 2016, I spent several years in retail management before finding my calling in financial services. Giving back to the community is a huge part of my life. I serve on the board of The Caring Place, as vice president of the Valparaiso Lions Club, and as an ambassador for the Valpo Chamber. I also volunteer with Opportunity Enterprises and PALS through the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Northwest Indiana. Outside of work and service, I enjoy traveling, spending time outdoors, and cheering on the Chicago Bears, Cubs, Bulls, and Blackhawks.

As a Clubhouse Hero during the 2025 Clubhouse Hero Challenge from May 25 to June 8, I am competing against other local leaders to see who can raise the most funds to support bright futures for our region’s youth. If I win, I will deliver on a special promise for the kids at one local Club. Your contribution gives our region’s children the tools to become the superheroes of their own stories.
