About Me

I am a graduate of Northwestern University and joined Merrill Lynch after moving from the Chicago area in 2004.  I spent my years after NU as a professional entertainer/musician with a successful showband called The Onstage Majority. After 13 years, I went into the mortgage business for another 13 years with Chase Manhattan. I now have a practice in the Bay Hill/Dr. Phillips area of SW Orlando.

I continue to write music and love to play golf.

More About Me

Hometown

Zion Illinois


Family

I met my wonderful wife, Kathy, at NU and we have been married almost 34 years. She is an actress who free lances in film, TV, voice over, and volunteers doing drama a churches in Orlando.

My 28 year old, beautiful single daughter Brooke, is also talented in several artistic areas. She made a decision to dedicate her artistic talents to a life making arts significant for God. She is the head of children's drama ministry for Willow Creek Church in So. Barrington Illinois.

My son Garrett is 18 and hoping to be a professional musician someday.  While pursuing that, he is returning to Valencia College.


Education

I have a BS in Radio, TV, and Film Communications at Northwestern University.

I have the following professional licenses: Series 7, Series 66, Life-Health-Annuities Insurance, and I have completed my CFP Investments course.


Goals

My goals are to be honest, trustworth, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent. I hope that I will always strive to see every aspect of my life through those lenses. I hope that I can apply those Boy Scout principals in my wealth management practice as well as my personal interaction with others. I'd love to sell an original song someday. I hope to measure happiness by the yardstick of the moment, not the future.


People I'd like to meet

I don't think that there are any notable celebrities that would be as meaningful as meeting unsung heroes that I wouldn't know their names. It would be nice to have Tiger Woods as a client!
