My father always said, “do the right thing, the right way, for the right reasons.” It’s a simple lesson, but one that has guided me personally and professionally. As a Wealth
Management Advisor at Sequent Planning, I serve my clients with integrity, intentionality, and clarity.
With more than 11 years of experience in financial services, including investment management, insurance, and financial planning, I’ve built my practice on a genuine
commitment to the people I work with. As a fee-only wealth management advisor, I provide unbiased, comprehensive advice. I live in Omaha with my wife and our two wonderful daughters. I’m also an avid reader, a middling golfer, and a loyal Nebraska Cornhuskers fan.
