My Mission Statement
Inspired by the strength of the Flint Hills, we leverage the power of a global firm to provide comprehensive financial guidance for you and your family.
My Story and Services
In these uncertain and volatile times, experience counts. With over forty years in the financial services industry, including over twenty-five as a financial advisor, I am dedicated to the long term financial success of my clients. My ultimate goal is to deliver to my clients world class financial products, services, and advice backed by the vast global resources of Morgan Stanley.
I am a 1976 graduate of the University of Kansas with a degree in Business Administration. My wife, Debby and I have been married for nearly 45 years blessed with two adult children and five grandchildren.
I am currently a member and past president of the East Wichita Rotary Club. I have also been quite active in support of my alma mater, the University of Kansas, formerly serving as a national board member of the KU Alumni Association, a past member of the 2017 Chancellor Search Committee, and past board member of the Wichita Area and Kansas City Area KU Alumni Chapters.
