How I help . . .

I enjoy helping clients navigate complex financial situations by applying deep technical knowledge with a creative lens. Whether it’s identifying tax-saving opportunities, structuring a business transaction, or solving a unique challenge, I look for solutions that are both strategic and practical. I’m committed to being honest and direct—sharing what I truly believe is in the client’s best interest, even when it’s not the easiest conversation. That kind of transparency builds trust and leads to better long-term outcomes.

For example, I recently helped a client work through a succession plan for their farming operation that balanced family dynamics with financial realities—ultimately creating a structure that preserved the family farm’s legacy while setting up the next generation for success. The result was more than just a tax-efficient plan—it gave the family clarity, peace of mind, and a clear path forward for the next generation.

A strategic ally is someone who is truly a principal with you and shares in the highs and lows. They do what they believe will put you in the best position for success.
What are some of your favorite things?
My favorite food is cheeseburgers. One of my favorite parts of the week is going to McDonald’s on Sunday mornings after church and getting two chicken McGriddles and an iced tea and eating them while driving around Hays. For music, I listen to pop rock and country rock. I end up liking anything that gets stuck in my head that I can sing along to.
