Meet Our Team

Welcome! I started Quarry Hill Advisors with the goal of elevating the standard of financial planning. I entered the financial world wanting to make a difference in clients' lives, only to find out that the "financial advisor" positions at the big firms were more focused on sales than helping people.

The purpose of Quarry Hill is to provide a better solution for people seeking expert, objective advice. We are now an industry-leading firm helping optimize the financial lives of busy professionals and retirees around the country. As a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ I am committed to the highest standards of excellence and professionalism in the industry.

Since starting Quarry Hill, I've been recognized as a Top 100 Financial Advisor in the country by Investopedia and one the Best Financial Advisors in Saint Paul, MN by Expertise.

While earning my bachelor's degree from Northwestern University, I earned Academic All-American and Academic All-Big Ten honors as a golf team member. Though I don't conduct client meetings on the golf course, I'd be happy to take you out as friends and play you for money!

While I'm not busy in the office crafting financial plans, I love going on adventures with my wife, Madeline, and two children, Sophie Sue and Graham. Much of my life is within a 3-mile radius in St. Paul, so it's never too hard to find me!

I’m a Hillsdale College graduate with more than fifteen years of experience helping families and executives simplify complex financial decisions into clear, purpose-driven strategies. As a partner at Quarry Hill Advisors, I focus on holistic planning: bringing together investment management, tax strategy, and retirement income design so clients can move forward with clarity and confidence.

My insights have been featured in MarketWatch, the Star Tribune, CBS News Minnesota, KSTP-TV, and WealthManagement.com. I hold the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™, Retirement Income Certified Professional®, and Accredited Investment Fiduciary® designations - credentials that reflect my commitment to delivering advice at the highest professional standard.

When I’m not in the office, I’m usually outside in Mendota Heights—tackling yard projects, fitting in a CrossFit workout, or listening to an audiobook on a long walk. My wife, Leah, and I are raising four energetic kids: Selah, Dietrich, Elin, and Sylvie.

Hello! I have been a part of the Quarry Hill team since 2021. I graduated from the University of St. Thomas with a Bachelor of Arts degree with a concentration in Financial Management and am a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™. My dedication to financial planning means I always put our clients' interests first and act as a fiduciary.

I am also an Enrolled Agent admitted to practice before the Internal Revenue Service. Given that nearly every financial decision has tax implications, it's important that you have a partner who can offer a proactive approach to tax planning. My goal is to ensure you are well-prepared for your tax obligations while capitalizing on opportunities to reduce your lifetime tax burden.

Outside of work, I enjoy skiing, playing soccer, and taking walks around St. Paul with my labradoodle, Henry. I'm always on the lookout for great podcasts or books, so if you have any recommendations, I'd love to hear them! My go-to genres are financial (go figure), history, and comedy.

Looking forward to helping you achieve your financial goals!
