What motivates you to help people plan for their retirement?
I enjoy walking alongside people, much like a caddie would in golf, to help them better understand their finances and increase their confidence in their future goals.
What is the best advice you've ever received?
Trust the Lord and not your own judgment, always let him lead you and he will make your paths straight
Where is your happy place?
Making fun new meals with my wife Maddie, or chasing my young nieces around!
