For more than 20 years, I’ve worked as a mechanical engineer, where problem-solving, continuous learning, and helping others have been at the heart of what I do. A big part of my role has been mentoring junior engineers—helping them work through challenges, build confidence, and develop the skills they need to succeed. I’ve always enjoyed taking something that seems complicated and breaking it down into practical, manageable steps. That same approach is what I bring to financial coaching.

Outside of work, I’m a father of two teenage daughters, love hiking with my dog Nala, involved in a church group, and I’ve spent several years coaching junior high cross country and basketball. Coaching has reinforced something I’ve always believed: people don’t need someone to do things for them—they need someone who can listen, provide guidance, and help them develop a plan to reach their goals. I have a genuine passion for personal finance and enjoy helping people become more confident and intentional with their money. My goal as a financial coach is to combine my experience as an engineer, mentor, parent, and coach, to help you solve financial challenges, make informed decisions, and build a stronger financial future.
