​​

My team and I work with executives and retirees, helping them make sense of their stock options and plan for the future. We keep things simple by focusing on what really matters to you—your goals and the big picture of your finances. We listen to your needs and use that to create a plan that’s easy to understand and follow.


I love helping people simplify their finances so they can take action on the goals they've had in mind for years. There's nothing better than seeing someone finally feel in control of their money and future. My team and I focus on making things clear and manageable so clients can move forward with confidence.


I come from a large family in the Kansas City area, which has given me a deep connection to the community. I started out interning at Keating while at KU. After college, I explored politics with internships in Congress and public policy in D.C., but the opportunity to be a trusted financial partner for families and executives back home drew me back to KC.


While helping clients make smart decisions about their stock options and financial future, I'm supported by a team that brings youthful energy to the table. We take this profession seriously, but also believe in keeping things light-hearted and enjoying the work we do together. One of our favorite subjects is food, and you should hear our debates about favorite sandwiches. Oh, and if
you’re curious, my favorite sandwich is a turkey club!


Outside of work, my wife Lauren and I enjoy traveling anywhere that has mountains or warm weather. We've been to so many weddings recently that we could probably start a wedding planning business—though I can't think of anything I would be worse at! We also have two lovely cats who keep us on our toes. We love cooking together, spending time with friends and family, and
supporting Kansas City sports teams.

Associate Financial Planner, CFP®

​

I love the collaborative nature of determining how to get people to where they want to be throughout different stages of life. Whether it’s figuring out how to fund college, taking a dream vacation, or getting that country club membership, I want to help people envision and cross their unique finish line. The most fulfilling aspect of this profession is assisting individuals in achieving their objectives, whatever they may be.

 

Since 2015, I have been in financial services on both the advisory and institutional sides of the business. Before working in the financial services world, I ran musical instrument stores nationwide and am still an avid drummer. After living in New England for many years, my wife and I recently decided to relocate back to Kansas City to raise our daughter closer to family.

 

I am energized by the opportunity to help the wonderful families with whom Hillside Wealth works. I know there isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to financial goals, and I want to be a reliable and trusted resource for every client.

 

Outside of the office, I enjoy watching Bruins hockey, hiking with my dog, Copper, and visiting Coastal Maine with my wife, Stacie, and our daughter, Harper. Seeing a toddler learn how to navigate the world is very rewarding.

Investment Administration Manager

​

As the Investment Administration Manager for Hillside Wealth and account administrator for Josh, I ensure accounts are updated as needed, complete client requests for money movements and any other account-related administrative tasks, along with supervising account administrators for other financial advisor teams that partner with the firm. 

​

My career in finance began in 2020 at Glass, Lewis, & Co. as a Research Associate. From there, I went to American Century Investments as an Investment Representative but was still looking for the right fit. Since being with Hillside Wealth, I have felt incredibly rewarded by the work and the company culture.

 

Prior to working in finance, I worked for seven years as a professional chef in California – from Santa Cruz, to Oakland, to San Francisco – but moved back to Kansas City to be closer to my family and complete my degree in English at UMKC.

​

I enjoy engaging with clients, while also making things easier for Josh so he can better assist clients with their advising and planning needs. My favorite aspects of my position are solving complex issues and finding answers to difficult questions.

 

Outside of work, I enjoy reading, sewing, hiking, biking, traveling, and spending time with friends, family, my dog Irene, and my cat Ophelia.

Office and Account Administrator

​

As office and account administrator, I greet clients at the front desk, schedule annual financial reviews, maintain client records, and more.

 

I recently completed my M.B.A. in Business Management through Northwest Missouri State University. As the newest member of the Hillside Wealth team, I am so happy to have found a company that values each of its employees and clients. While new to the finance industry, I’m excited to learn more from my peers and contribute to our clients’ experience at Hillside Wealth.

 

Outside of work, you will find me spending time with my husband, Nick, and my two cats: Charlie and Wilbur. I love being outside (except in the winter), cooking, hanging out with family and friends, and watching movies. Fun fact: my favorite holiday is Christmas!
