Entrepreneurship and personal connection have always defined my career. After spending over 30 years in the print industry—including more than 15 years running my own successful company—I realized the part of the job I excelled at and enjoyed most was helping business owners and charitable organizations make sense of their finances. Guided by a genuine desire to help others succeed, I transitioned this passion into a second career. In 2021, I founded Alliant Financial Solutions to provide a better, more personal, and faith-based approach to planning your financial future.
At Alliant Financial Solutions, I bring the exact same principles used in business management to personal finance: look at the numbers honestly, understand what they mean, and build a strategy that actually works for your life. I operate as both a coach and a guide, offering holistic, life-centered financial planning rooted in integrity, education, and empathy. Because I have seen firsthand how financial struggles can impact families, I am deeply committed to helping clients gain clarity and confidence. My goal is to create a welcoming space where you can sit down, ask your questions, and leave with a clear, actionable plan.
As a comprehensive financial professional, I hold my FINRA Series 7 and 66 securities registrations, life and health insurance licenses, and the Accredited Asset Management Specialist (AAMS) designation. I specialize in personalized strategies for families covering budgeting, retirement planning, life insurance, and long-term care. Additionally, I hold my Retirement Income Certified Professional (RICP) certification to better serve my clients who are navigating the critical transition of turning hard-earned savings into reliable lifetime income.
Faith, community, and family are central to how I live and work. My wife Brenda and I have been happily married for 39 years, and we are blessed with two daughters and four wonderful granddaughters. When we are home in southwest Idaho, we enjoy exploring the backcountry, hiking, fishing, and outdoor photography. We also share a passion for long-distance motorcycle touring. Dedicated to my local community, I am a recent graduate of Leadership Nampa and have spent nearly 30 years actively involved with local chambers of commerce. I am also active in my local church, leading small group Bible studies and seeking to encourage others wherever God opens the door.
