As a Wealth Advisor at Stratos Wealth Partners, my primary responsibilities involve engaging with both current and prospective clients, guiding them through the intricacies of retirement planning. With over 25 years of experience in the financial services industry, I have dedicated my career to helping clients achieve their retirement goals. My firm currently serves over $80 million in brokerage and advisory assets as of October 2025.
Before joining Stratos Wealth Partners, I gained valuable experience working at MetLife and First Investors Corp. I have obtained the RFC® designation and the Series 6, 63, 65, and Life Insurance licenses. My educational background includes a business degree from Eastern Illinois University, which has laid the foundation for my work in financial services.
In 2016, I joined Stratos Wealth Partners as an independent advisor, a move that allowed me to focus on what matters most: my clients. I’m passionate about empowering my clients to live full, abundant lives, free from financial worry. Helping people is what drives me. I believe in building genuine relationships, and I’ve built my business on referrals from those who trust me to have their best interests at heart. Whether you’re planning for retirement, managing investments, or looking at college savings, I’m here to provide guidance that’s as personalized as it is practical.
Originally from Lombard, Illinois, I now reside in Elmhurst with my wife, Alison, and our two sons, Adam and Keaton. Outside of the office, I am actively involved in NAIFA DuPage and the Knights of Columbus, organizations that keep me grounded in community service and ethical practice. In my free time, I enjoy spending quality moments with family and friends, following Chicago sports, and engaging in various outdoor activities like boating, fishing, golfing, and snowboarding. Staying active and reading are also passions of mine, as they keep me energized and informed.
