I’m incredibly honored to be recognized as one of Financial Planning’s 2026 Rising Stars.
When I entered this profession, I was fortunate to have mentors who were generous with their time, knowledge, and experience. The only thing they asked in return was that when I had the opportunity, I do the same for others.
That advice has stuck with me.
Whether it’s mentoring newer financial advisors, helping peers work through complex planning situations, speaking with students interested in the profession, or providing financial education in the community, I’ve tried to make giving back a meaningful part of my career.
There are a lot of people who have invested their time in helping me get to where I am today, and I’m grateful to have the opportunity to pay some of that forward.
A huge thank you to Casey Richards for the nomination, to the mentors and colleagues who continue to challenge me, and to Financial Planning for the recognition.
I’m proud of what I’ve accomplished so far, but even more excited about what’s ahead.
