I’m a 36-year veteran of the financial services industry, with a focus on meeting the needs of individual investors and businesses. I grew up in Eastern Washington and graduated from Central Washington University. Before beginning my career in financial services, I was an elementary teacher in Leavenworth, Washington, and also worked overseas for an international contractor in Tel Aviv, Israel. I stay active in the community through the Rotary Club of Woodburn and have served on various boards throughout the area. My wife, Patti, and I have been married for 36 years and have three children. We enjoy traveling, baseball, and spending time with our family.
