Financial Tip:

There is more to planning for retirement than the financials. Be sure to have an idea of what you will be retiring to. Whether that be a hobby, a cause, being a grandparent, or something else...have a plan for your new 9-5!

Fun Facts:

  • I am #89,482 on the Green Bay Packers season ticket waiting list. I started at well over #100,000 back in 2013.
  • I have seen a game in 19 MLB stadiums, 11 Big Ten football stadiums, and 6 NFL stadiums. I am trying to get to all of them!
  • I grew up a die-hard Hawkeye fan but ended up going to Iowa State for my bachelor’s degree. It was hard to wear cardinal and gold at first but I’m glad I did because that is where my wife and I met.
