Receiving the Rotarian of the Year award from the Lebanon, Missouri Rotary Club is something I never expected, and I'm incredibly humbled and grateful.

One of the things I love most about Rotary is that it's built on the simple idea of putting Service Above Self. As a Christian, that value resonates deeply with me because I believe we're called to love our neighbors, serve others with humility, and use the gifts God has given us to make a difference in our communities. It's not about recognition—it's about being faithful in the opportunities we're given to help others.

This award isn't a reflection of anything I've done alone. I've had the privilege of serving alongside so many incredible Rotarians, community leaders, friends, and organizations who give their time, talents, and hearts to make Lebanon a better place. I'm continually inspired by their generosity and commitment to serving others.

Thank you to the Lebanon Rotary Club for this incredible honor. I'm thankful for the opportunity to serve our community, and I pray God continues to use each of us to be His hands and feet wherever He places us.

WOW… We’re honored!

Thank you, Lebanon and Laclede County, for voting us Best of the Best – Financial Planning in the 2026 Laclede County Record Readers’ Choice Awards!

This recognition means so much because it comes directly from the people and families we have the privilege of serving every day. Helping our clients work toward their financial goals, navigate life’s changes, and plan for their futures is something we never take for granted.

A special thank you to my incredible Branch Office Administrator, Stephanie Dennis. Your dedication, compassion, and commitment to our clients help make our office what it is. I’m grateful to have you on this journey with me.

To our clients, friends, family, and community partners—thank you for your trust, support, and confidence in us. We are truly blessed to be part of such an amazing community and look forward to continuing to serve Lebanon for years to come.

Thank you for your votes, your referrals, and your trust. We couldn’t have done it without you!

What a great day for our team!

Today, we had the privilege of helping host the AUSA/Friends of the Fort Golf Tournament while also attending National Cancer Survivor Day at Mercy Hospital, where our office was honored to provide drinks for the event.

Community involvement is one of the most rewarding parts of what we do. Whether it's supporting our military community, celebrating cancer survivors, or giving back through local organizations, we believe investing in our community is just as important as investing for our clients.

Many people may not know that I serve as the Lebanon Friends of the Fort Chapter President and Board Member, as well as Chair of Legacy & Giving for the Mercy Health Foundation. These roles allow me to work alongside incredible people who are making a real difference in the lives of others.

A huge thank you to my amazing assistant, Stephanie! She somehow manages to keep everything running smoothly while juggling multiple events, countless details, and all of my last-minute requests. None of this would be possible without her dedication and hard work.

We're grateful to be part of such a generous and supportive community!

🎥 Something exciting is coming to Jacket Nation Sports!🖤💛

I recently had the opportunity to record a commercial that will be airing during Lebanon Yellowjacket Athletics broadcasts on Jacket Nation Sports.

As a financial advisor, I spend most of my time talking about investing for the future. But some of the most important investments aren't financial at all—they're the investments of time, patience, and encouragement that coaches, teachers, and mentors pour into our young athletes every day.

I'm proud to support Lebanon Yellowjacket Athletics and our local community through this sponsorship.

👀 Stay tuned for the finished commercial—I can't wait to share it with you!

💚🎄 Christmas on Commercial Street is THIS Friday! 🎄💚

Brace yourselves… the Grinch is making an appearance, and he’s already threatened to steal:
✔️ Christmas
✔️ My cookies
✔️ The entire ATV parade
✔️ And probably your wallet

Come stop by my table for FREE cookies (before the Grinch snatches them), and grab a photo with him while he’s in one of his “fine, I’ll be festive” moods.

Then stick around for the Light Up ATV Parade at dark — it’s so bright even the Grinch agreed to wear sunglasses.

See you Friday on Commercial Street —
where we’re 98% sure the Grinch will behave…ish. 💚
