Clients I specialize in: Attorneys and accountants, Business owners, Executives, Wealth creators
As a Private Wealth Advisor, I help my clients define their goals and understand their options. Then I partner with them to create tailored wealth management strategies. My clients' wealth plans include the right mix of investment management, trust and estate services, and private banking to meet their unique needs and preferences.
I've worked in the banking and financial services industry since 1991. I help clients succeed by making their money work as hard for them as they did for it.
I live in Olathe, and serve clients in the Kansas City, Johnson County, and Plaza area. I enjoy serving on the board of Braden's Hope, am active in Boy Scouts, and serve as commodore of our local sailing club. I enjoy spending time with my wife, Leslee, and our three kids, Jadie, Luke and Eric. We love spending weekends at the lake aboard our sailboats and have captained sailboats in Honduras, the Virgin Islands, Scotland, Lake Superior, St. Lucia/Martinique.

You work hard to provide for yourself and others. We’ll help you create a plan that extends your legacy forward to support the people and causes you care about for generations to come.
We help our clients build and preserve wealth, so they can live the lives they want while supporting the people and causes they care about. Our approach goes beyond just managing your investments. We work to understand your lifestyle, family, passions and goals and then provide tailored advice and guidance. You’ll have a single point of contact – your Private Wealth Advisor – who’s backed by our experts in areas such as planning, investments, trusts and banking. Together, we’ll create a wealth plan aligned with your needs and priorities.
The role of a financial advisor can go beyond investment planning. An advisor can also provide guidance for key moments throughout your life. Perhaps your finances have gotten more complex, and you’d like help creating or adjusting your wealth plan. You may be worried how market changes are affecting your investments. Or you’re experiencing a major life event, such as:
Getting married or divorced
Having a child
Starting a new career
Receiving an inheritance
Buying a house
Nearing retirement
An advisor can help you objectively assess where you are financially and how to prepare for the future as you work toward your goals.
Your advisor will ask about your goals and priorities – where you’re at today, financially, and where you'd like to go. But the main topic of conversation will be whatever’s on your mind. You can discuss how you and your advisor will work together, what you can expect from your advisor, any costs if you decide to move forward, and next steps. You’ll have plenty of time to ask questions, to help you decide if the relationship is the right fit.
No, your initial consultation is free.
We’ll confirm with you what materials, such as recent bank and financial statements, may be helpful for understanding your financial picture. But it’s your choice what to bring. To help you decide – and to ensure you get the most out of the conversation with your advisor – consider the following before the meeting:
What are your most important financial goals?
What concerns you about your finances?
Did you recently experience a major life event?
We’re happy to meet with you virtually or in person. It’s up to you.
