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.

Favorite Organizations:

  • Cottage Grove Church
  • Junior Achievement of Central Iowa

Outside of work I spend most of my time with my family. My wife Anne and I currently live in Urbandale with our daughter Hallie and mini goldendoodle Lambeau.

When not tinkering in the lawn or checking another stadium off my list, you can often find my family and I working on a home or landscape project, enjoying the array of experiences the Des Moines metro has to offer, or checking out a new travel destination.
