About Me

My first experience in the investment industry was when my father worked as a commodities broker in Spokane when I was a kid. I would plot charts and perform other administrative duties working for him in high school.

After graduating from the University of Washington with a B.A. in English, I entered the investment industry in 1988 when I joined a small brokerage firm in Seattle, Harper McLean, which specialized in underwriting local municipal bonds. There, I gained extensive experience in developing fixed income strategies for a wide variety of clients. From Harper, I was recruited by Security Pacific Bank, then I went on to join Phelps & Woodhead in Spokane, followed by about a decade at both D.A. Davidson and Wells Fargo Advisors before joining Stifel in 2019.

I am a member of the University of Washington Alumni Association, the Kappa Sigma Fraternity, and Friends of Manito. I am also a supporter of Eternal Hope, Vanessa Behan Crisis Nursery, Union Gospel Mission, the Tunnels to Towers Foundation, and various charities offering support to the people of Israel.

Outside the office, when I’m not out fishing or chasing a golf ball, I enjoy spending time in the woods marching around with my dogs. My wife, Angie, and I split our time between Spokane and St. Petersburg, Florida. Our three kids are grown and making their way in the world. We are now proud grandparents. When we’re not trying to grab time with our babies, we life to travel, enjoy our books, and get outside whenever we can.

I can think of no other place on Earth where a guy like me can achieve the success I have been fortunate enough to enjoy – God Bless America.

About Me

I was born and raised in the small wheat farming community of Harrington, Washington, and have been a resident of Spokane since graduating from high school. During my 40-plus years in the financial services industry, I have worked in various capacities, including Registered Assistant, Operations Manager, and Administrative Manager. I hold Series 7 and 9 & 10 securities licenses. 

Throughout my career and the various roles I have enjoyed undertaking, I still place my highest pleasure in the rewarding experience of assisting a valued client. I particularly enjoy developing long-term, healthy relationships with clients and associates and am highly motivated by the opportunity to interact with clients and foster a valuable and beneficial experience for each one.  

Outside the office, I have served as a volunteer with local women’s shelters and organizations that help women get back on their feet and into the workforce.

In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, gardening, cooking, entertaining, traveling, and engaging in home décor projects.
