Places I’ve Lived

Watertown WI, Waukesha WI, and Jackson WI.

Who I Root For

Green Bay Packers, Wisconsin Badgers, and Milwaukee Bucks.

What I Listen To

I have always had an eclectic taste for music. I wouldn’t say there is much I don’t appreciate. I gravitate more to EDM, Country, Hip Hop and some heavier stuff.

Food & Drink

Spicy food. I like coffee… a lot. Wheat or Belgian beers or bourbon.

Best Part of My Job

The people and culture of Aptus. To me, this is the backbone of any business and often not emphisized enough. Truly a rare opportunity that I am grateful to be a part of. I enjoy doing my part working with our team to help clients build the best business they can to help investors maximize their portfolios. Beyond that, I love to find ways to improve things and enjoy research.

Nights & Weekends

Love spending time with my family, love the outdoors. When I get a chance, some golf, sporting clays or hitting the range.

Favorite Trips

Family beach weekend at Gulf Shores / Fort Morgan area creating priceless memories.
