    Growing up in Southwest Missouri, I always looked forward to visiting Kansas City and supporting the Royals and Chiefs. My wife and I met on the first day of college in Branson, and we now call Kansas City home, making the most of everything this city has to offer. We enjoy trying new foods, hiking, listening to jazz, and connecting with great people at Church.


    During college, I discovered my passion for personal finance and realized my calling was to help others navigate its complexities and achieve financial freedom. Joining Buttonwood Financial Group has been the perfect opportunity to do just that, and I’m excited to help change clients' lives for years to come.
