I founded Prairie State Wealth in order to address the needs of people facing a multi-decade retirement with the same processes and resources that institutional investors have had access to for years. Having worked in the financial services industry since graduating from the University of Illinois with a bachelor’s degree in finance in 1980, I have had a front row seat to the scope of change that has impacted my clients and the financial industry.

Prairie State Wealth is the logical extension of that journey. My professional experience has shown me that independent and objective advice can be directed to the challenges that people face today when managing their personal financial futures. I look forward to the challenges and opportunities that the future is sure to bring.

I live in Big Rock, Illinois, with my wife and two rescue cats. We are most proud of our two sons, who have now finished (I think) with their educations and are hard at work on their own careers.
