I help hardworking people make smart financial decisions without the fluff

06/02/2026

Your cash might be costing you money.

Many people feel safe keeping large amounts of extra cash sitting in a bank account.

The problem?

• Earning 0.3%–0.5% interest doesn’t keep up with inflation.
• Any interest earned is typically taxable.
• As prices rise, the purchasing power of that cash declines over time.

An emergency fund is important and should stay liquid and accessible.

But if you’re holding significantly more cash than you need for short-term expenses or emergencies, it may be worth asking whether that money is still working for you.

Cash has a purpose. Long-term money should too.

Best advice I received when starting this career:

“If your advisor is good at golf, he’s spending more time on the course than worrying about your money.”

Safe to say my clients should feel pretty good after today’s round 😂

Many hardworking people spend decades building a 401(k)…

But very little time learning how to turn it into retirement income.

Saving for retirement and living in retirement are two different skill sets.

A couple recently reached out to reschedule a meeting because life got busy.

Honestly, that’s normal. Everyone’s busy.

But it also reminded me of something I see all the time:

Procrastination is often the biggest obstacle to good financial planning.

Not lack of intelligence.
Not lack of income.
Not lack of opportunity.

Just delay.

Sometimes a few simple adjustments can make a meaningful difference over time:
• Improving efficiency
• Fixing outdated beneficiaries
• Reviewing retirement timelines
• Taking advantage of tax strategies
• Cleaning up old accounts
Most people don’t need a complete financial overhaul.

They just need to stop putting important decisions off for “someday.”

Because eventually, someday turns into “I wish we would’ve done this earlier.”

Your retirement date should be a math decision, not just an age decision.

Age 62, 65, or 67 doesn’t automatically mean it’s the right time.

Income sources, expenses, healthcare costs, and goals matter more than the calendar.

A colleague used the term “Midwestern rich” in a meeting last week and it got me thinking.

Some of the most financially successful people I know don’t look flashy at all.

They worked hard, stayed consistent, avoided unnecessary debt, and quietly built strong financial lives over time.

A lot of people approaching retirement are actually in much better shape than they realize — but that doesn’t mean retirement is simple.

Questions around taxes, income distribution, Social Security, Medicare, investments, and protecting what you’ve built become much more important near the finish line.

Good planning isn’t just for people living flashy lifestyles. In many cases, it’s the people who were disciplined and practical for 30+ years that benefit the most from having a solid retirement strategy.

A lot of people think retirement planning starts at retirement.

It usually starts 5–10 years before.

That’s when decisions around savings, debt, taxes, Social Security, and timing can have the biggest impact.

If retirement is starting to feel real, now is a great time to get clarity.

It’s been a while since I reintroduced myself here.

Along with being a Financial Advisor, I also help mentor and develop newer advisors who are building their practices and careers.

As our team continues to grow in Appleton, I’m always interested in connecting with ambitious people who want more ownership over their future.

One question I often ask:

"Would having your income tied more to your effort excite you—or stress you out?"

If it excites you, we may have something to talk about.

Most people don’t realize… linemen have some of the best benefits out there — but also some of the most misunderstood.

That’s a big part of why I specialize in working with linemen.

I help guys:
⚡ Understand and maximize their NEAP
— how it’s taxed
— how it’s invested
— and how to take it (lump sum vs annuity)

💰 Make their money work as hard as they do
— simple strategies to build real savings
— better options than just letting cash sit
— tax-efficient ways to grow it

🏡 Protect their family and build generational wealth
— making sure retirement goes where it should
— proper insurance if something happens
— setting things up the right way long-term

At the end of the day, you guys work too hard to not have a plan behind it.

If you’re a lineman (or know one) and want to make sure everything is set up right, shoot me a message.

Most of my clients are Union Blue Collar Workers.

Lineman. Electricians. Pipefitters. Operators. Carpenters. Laborers. Ironworkers.

Hard-working men and women who show up early, work long days, and deserve to retire confidently.

Here’s what I primarily help union families with:

🔧 1. Understanding & Maximizing Their Retirement Plan

(Pension / Annuity / 401k)

Most union members have strong benefits — but very few truly understand all their options.

• Funding decisions – Should you contribute additional dollars if you’re allowed to? Does it actually improve your retirement outcome?
• Investment selection – If you can choose investments inside your annuity or 401k, are you properly diversified? Is your risk aligned with your timeline?
• Distribution strategy – At retirement, should you take guaranteed income? Add a spousal rider? Or roll the money to an independent retirement account?

Your union provides the plan — but they don’t sit down and build a personalized strategy around it.

💰 2. Maximizing Cash Flow Today for Mid & Long-Term Goals

I help make sure:
• You’re saving the right amount — not just guessing
• Your money isn’t just sitting in the bank earning next to nothing
• Your dollars are working as hard as you do

🧾 3. Minimizing Taxes (Now & In the Future)

Taxes don’t stop at retirement.

• Understanding how pensions, annuities, and Social Security are taxed
• Planning withdrawals strategically
• Growing money in more tax-efficient buckets

Union benefits are powerful — but they are not a full financial plan.

You worked hard to earn those benefits.
Don’t just rely on the union to decide how they’re used.

Take control. Understand your options. Build a strategy around your family and goals.

If you’re a union worker and want clarity on your retirement plan, send me a message. Let’s make sure everything is working together the way it should be.
