Community Participation
I'm proud to have been provided the opportunity to help educate our young adults and prepare them for the realities of life after High School through the Viera High School Academy of Business & Finance. I've also had the priviledge to serve on their Advisory Board since 2008, acting as Chair since 2009.

Additionaly, my wife and I are passionate about keeping young children physically active and have facilitated this by coaching our own boys' T-ball teams.

Working Together
Meeting with an Ameriprise financial advisor is an important first step. It's an opportunity to get to know an advisor and share your goals and dreams. You're under no obligation; your initial meeting with an Ameriprise financial advisor will be relaxed and informal.

Your meeting will include a review of your existing financial situation and potential opportunities, gaps or general strategies. While you won't receive a comprehensive review or financial planning services for which fees are charged, you should expect to get a sense of what it might be like to work together.
