Too often during my prior time in the financial world, I saw companies that operated under old models that cared only about selling products, offered incomplete solutions and outdated technology that’s out of step with how the world works, or incentivized their employees and affiliates for things not in the client’s best interests. It is my intention that Peakview Strategies will fix those shortcomings and bring a select group of clients a new experience unlike what they’ve read about online when working with a stereotypical financial advisor. I’d love the opportunity to be of service if you like what you see. I believe it’s my mission in life to help you win with your money, and I have the professional experience and expertise to make it happen. I care deeply about my clients and want to be their biggest advocates in their unique missions to make the most of their money. The best compliments I’ve received are those who have expressed their gratitude for guidance to results they didn’t think were possible and for encouragement to keep going to get to those destinations. When not working to benefit my clients or honing my craft, you’ll likely find me traveling, spending quality time with family and friends, or enjoying one of my many other hobbies. I’m an avid follower of sports, love smoking meat and tasting bourbon, drinking coffee and like the historical figure I’d love to meet (Winston Churchill), am easily satisfied with the very best. I do my best to undo all the smoked meat and bourbon by plugging in for some quality time exercising.

In 2018, I launched Oakview Wealth Solutions - a St Charles Fee-Only Financial Planner. As an industry-leading CFP® professional I help our clients eliminate debt, invest smarter, and retire faster. Since launching Oakview Wealth Solutions, I have helped clients buy their dream home, quickly and safely pay down debt, protect their wealth, and retire on their terms. All so they can live richer lives now. I’m a proud graduate of the College of Architecture, Design and Construction at Auburn University and the Certified Financial Planner program at Northwestern University. In addition, I hold the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ designation – exemplifying my commitment to the highest standards of integrity and professionalism in the industry. When I'm not helping clients realize their dreams, I like to spend my time at concerts, traveling with my family, and watching college football. War Eagle!
