After working in the financial services industry for over 20 years, I launched Focal Point Financial Group to help, equip, and guide people to be good stewards of their God-given resources. Focal Point Financial Group is a fee-only financial planning firm located in the Kansas City area who works with individuals and families delivering financial planning and investment advice. We believe that everyone should have a financial plan. We call it your “focal point” and we help you identify yours. It’s your focal point or plan that guides your day-to-day (and long-term) money decisions and brings clarity and confidence to your choices. We work with our clients on an ongoing basis to not only set up an initial plan with specific goals and action steps, but also help them along their journey to implement and keep the plan up to date as life events and circumstances change. Focal Point Financial Group believes in keeping things simple. The more moving parts to something, the greater the risk of something getting overlooked or underutilized. We help our clients simplify their financial lives in order to obtain greater peace of mind and create financial breathing room. Because we believe people need affordable access to qualified financial planning, we charge our financial planning clients a monthly fee based on the complexity of their situation...not based on how much money they have or how many things they own. Our ideal clients are those that: - are open to getting holistic help with their finances - communicate openly and freely - believe in the benefit of having a long-term plan in place - are wanting a trusted partner to help them on their journey to being a good steward Although we call Kansas home, we are also willing to work with clients outside of our area. In addition to being a financial planner, I’m also a husband and a dad. I’m blessed with a wonderful family. I enjoy being outside, playing sports, cooking new things and exploring new places.

I am a fee-only, flat-fee fiduciary and the owner of Artisan Financial Planning, an advisory firm dedicated to professional musicians, performing artists, and creatives. After a career on stage, I bring a real‑life perspective to planning—I understand variable income, touring schedules, union and employer benefits, royalty streams, 1099/W‑2 mixes, and the career pivots many artists face. I deliver comprehensive financial planning and investment management with clear, unbiased advice: no product sales, no commissions, and transparent pricing. Clients work with me as a personal money coach to align cash flow, emergency reserves, benefits decisions, investments, taxes, insurance, and retirement timelines with their artistic goals—so they can follow their muse without worrying about money. Services include ongoing financial planning, tax‑aware investment management, retirement readiness and Social Security optimization, risk management, education on healthcare choices, and guidance for business owners and freelancers (entity selection, budgeting, and quarterly taxes). My approach is collaborative, educational, and practical: I build plans that fit the cadence of performances, recording projects, and family life. As a former orchestral musician who navigated career‑impacting health challenges, I meet clients with empathy and clarity, helping them make confident decisions at key transitions. I serve clients nationwide virtually and am committed to acting in your best interest at all times as a fiduciary. Importantly, I am open to working with creative professionals from all walks of life—wherever you may be on your financial life journey—from getting started and stabilizing cash flow to scaling your career, planning major projects, or preparing for retirement.

I built Mission Financial Planning to provide financial planning in a purely advice-only, fee-only, fiduciary role. I have been a Certified Financial Planner (CFP) for 25 years. My focus: Financial planning for dentists. Services include personal and practice cash flow planning, debt management, tax strategy, education funding, retirement plans and retirement planning, insurance assessment, and estate planning. Over the years many dentist clients have referred other dentists, as well as non-dentist friends and family, to work with us. We are flattered with every referral - dentist or not - and honored to bring them into our family of great clients, if the fit is right. Let’s schedule a time to talk about your financial questions and find out if our areas of expertise would add value to your long-term planning. Thank you for considering Mission Financial Planning!
