What was your childhood like?

One of my favorite trips growing up was a 2 week driving vacation through the 4-corner states. We have such a beautiful country! The national parks in the west are absolutely amazing. My brother and I started a lawn care/landscaping business from scratch which helped us pay our way through undergrad and kick off our adult lives. We had a blast mulching and mowing in the heat of the summer while listening to Norah Jones’s classic Come away with me.

Where have you worked? What is the best thing that has ever happened while you were working?

When I find something I love I stick with it. I have only worked in my lawn care business and financial services. The best part about working in a team setting is the comradery and common goal. The best part of all the opportunities I’ve had has to be the people. I love being part of others’ lives. Although it’s not always easy, I love celebrating the good and encouraging others when things don’t go the way we expect.

When did you first realize you were interested in finance?

One of the first jobs I had was working for my parents’ financial advisor in my early teens. He gave me the opportunity to work at his home on Saturday mornings weeding, mowing, and doing other odd jobs. He gave me a love for the outdoors and a baseline for the financial principles that I teach my clients today. I loved the fact that he was rewarded for working hard but also having a great balance at home with his family. I saw the impact his influence had on my family so I thought it would be a great way to impact others.

What are you known for among your friends?

I am known as an athlete, handyman, and family man who loves serving others.

How do you spend your time outside of work?

• • Playing “princess” and having dance parties with my 2.5 year old daughters
• • Enjoying concerts with my wife
• • Working out
• • Gardening/mowing the lawn
• • Staying busy with home projects
• • Mentoring/ teaching young men how to be men of character, honor, responsibility, initiative, service and truth

What is your favorite part of what you do at Vestia?

Having the privilege of walking alongside my clients and helping them achieve their personal and financial goals.

What book do you always tell people they should read?

7 Habits of Highly Effective People

True wealth is about more than finances. What does it mean to you to live wealthy beyond finances?

Money is just a tool. Just like any tool, it can be used to build or tear down. To live “wealth that matters” means living out your calling to the best of your ability each and every day. That could be serving your family or others.

For me, it’s putting God first, family second and everything else third. If I do the first two right, everything else seems to fall in place.
