Growing up, I learned the true meaning of hard work, discipline, and patience by watching my parents live out those values. They showed me what it meant to take responsibility, put in an honest day’s work, and stay committed even when things got tough. Most importantly, they taught me to always carry myself with integrity. Those lessons became the foundation of who I am and continue to guide me in everything I do.

 My work ethic and dedication now guide me as a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® and Chartered Financial Consultant®. I take a steady, thoughtful approach to helping families and individuals navigate financial decisions—because I know firsthand that financial security isn’t just about numbers, it’s about peace of mind. My goal is simple: to empower people with the knowledge and tools they need to build a strong, lasting financial future.

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with over 100 families, advising on more than $100 million in assets. Whether it’s planning for retirement, preparing for life’s big transitions, or helping families create generational wealth, I tailor solutions to fit each client’s unique situation. I believe in keeping financial planning approachable—no jargon, no judgment, just honest, straightforward guidance that helps people feel confident in their decisions.

 I have a special appreciation for those who work with their hands and build the backbone of our communities—trade workers, power plant employees, farmers, and others who embody the values of humility, authenticity, and grit. These are the kind of people I grew up around, and they’re the ones I love helping the most.

 Outside of work, I stay active and make time for the things that keep me grounded. My wife, Laura, and I enjoy going to church together, and I spend as much time as I can in the outdoors—hunting, fishing, hiking, biking, or just finding a quiet place to recharge. But at the end of the day, nothing matters more to me than the people I love. Family, faith, and meaningful connections are at the heart of everything I do.

 I believe financial planning is about more than just growing wealth—it’s about building trust, forming lasting relationships, and helping people live the lives they’ve worked so hard for. If you’re ready to take control of your financial future, I’d be honored to walk that path with you.

Southern Lancaster Farmers and Sportsman Association:

I am proud to be an active member of the Southern Lancaster Farmers and Sportsman Association, a community-driven organization dedicated to preserving our region’s rich outdoor traditions. My involvement allows me to combine my passion for outdoor sports, conservation, and giving back to the local community.

As a member of the Trout Nursery Committee, I play an active role in raising and releasing trout to enhance local waterways and provide opportunities for anglers in the area. The work we do includes maintaining the nursery, ensuring the health and well-being of the trout, and coordinating stocking efforts in partnership with local agencies. This hands-on involvement has deepened my appreciation for the delicate balance required to sustain our natural ecosystems.

Beyond the nursery, I enjoy collaborating with fellow members to support the club's broader initiatives, including education, outreach, and events that promote responsible hunting, fishing, and land stewardship. It’s rewarding to be part of an organization that shares my values of conservation, community, and respect for the outdoors.

Being involved with the Southern Lancaster Farmers and Sportsman Association has not only enriched my personal connection to nature but has also provided opportunities to give back and help preserve these traditions for future generations.

MCC ReUzit Board Member:

I am honored to be an active supporter of MCC ReUzit in New Holland, a nonprofit organization dedicated to sustainability and community impact. MCC ReUzit operates as part of the Mennonite Central Committee, using thrift store proceeds to support global relief, development, and peace initiatives.

My involvement with MCC ReUzit has been both meaningful and rewarding. Whether assisting with operations or promoting the store’s mission, I enjoy being part of an organization that emphasizes the importance of repurposing and reusing goods to reduce waste while making a positive difference locally and globally.

Through this work, I’ve developed a deeper appreciation for how small, intentional actions can create a ripple effect of change. The funds raised by MCC ReUzit not only support global initiatives but also foster a sense of community within New Holland by providing affordable goods and a welcoming space for connection.

Being involved with MCC ReUzit has been a wonderful way to combine my commitment to giving back with my belief in sustainability and helping others. It’s inspiring to know that our collective efforts contribute to meaningful change, both at home and around the world.
