I grew up in Falls City, NE, in a farming family, an upbringing that instilled in me the value of hard work and being of service to others. I went on to study actuarial science at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, where I also minored in finance, economics, and mathematics.
After graduating, I spent four years in the insurance industry as an actuary before taking an unexpected turn and joining The Investors Podcast Network as a podcast host. That chapter gave me the rare opportunity to host a top-ranked stock investing show and interview several well-regarded investors and authors. It was, in many ways, my own personal MBA, as I immersed myself in investment analysis, investor psychology, and the mental models that shape how the best investors think.
Looking back, it was almost inevitable that I’d find my way into the investment industry. I joined P&A in 2026, and it has proven to be the perfect next step in my career. In my role at P&A, I support our advisors in providing a great client experience and contribute to our investment research and marketing efforts.
What I appreciate most about P&A is the chance to learn alongside a talented team of advisors and get to know clients who come from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences.
Outside the office, you’ll often find me on a basketball court, playing pickleball, or spending time on the lake with my fiancée and family. I’ve also spent five years as a Teammates mentor and have a growing interest in coaching basketball.
