I’ve always loved solving puzzles and helping people work through challenges. During my 20 years in the Air Force, I found the work incredibly fulfilling — but the most meaningful part for me was mentoring younger Airmen and helping them navigate life beyond the uniform. Whether it was learning how to buy a car, open a savings account, or make smart financial decisions, I loved being someone they could trust to guide them.
When it came time to retire from the military, I knew it wasn’t the end of my mission — just a new chapter. I looked back on what had brought me the most fulfillment over the years, and the answer was clear: education, guidance, and helping others prepare for the future.
Along the way, I was fortunate to meet people who taught me how to plan responsibly for my own family’s future. In a career where uncertainty is part of daily life, it was essential to know that my wife and two young children would be taken care of no matter what.
Today, what drives me is the opportunity to bring that same peace of mind, preparation, and confidence to others — because everyone deserves to feel secure about what’s ahead.
