Interests

In my free time, I enjoy spending it with family and friends. I love it when I can get in a round of golf with my two sons, Austin and Dalton. Austin is a graduate of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Dalton graduated with honors from the University of Nebraska. Both are following in the footsteps of me and my father as third generation financial advisors with Ameriprise Financial.
