Advisor Team

I started my practice from scratch at the start of 2007. From those humble beginnings to now, there have been a lot of changes in the market, the finance industry, and our practice. What hasn’t changed is our dedication to our clients, their financial plans, and their money – a stewardship that we take very seriously. I’m humbled to work with such great clients and colleagues every day. At the moment, I’m having a lot of fun toggling between being a CFP® practitioner, a business owner, and an investor. When I’m not engaged in business, I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, and pursuing lifelong hobbies.

Fun fact: I lived abroad in Tokyo, Seoul, Australia and Costa Rica.

Born and raised in Colorado, I have proudly been associated with Johlfs Wealth Management since 2017. After a brief time working at a larger firm, I realized the true value of my role is building long-lasting and meaningful relationships with our clients. I have assisted in many facets during my time at JWM, but now my time is primarily spent in front of our wonderful clients assisting them in reaching their own version of financial freedom. Honestly, I really enjoy the complex problem solving that is required when developing financial plans. Outside of work, I spend time exploring Colorado with my wife Kelsey and our growing family.

Originally from Nebraska, I relocated to the Denver area and joined Johlfs Wealth Management in 2020. Today, I live in South Denver with my wife, Taylor, and our poodle, Oli.

In my free time, I enjoy exploring Colorado's natural beauty, whether that’s by hiking, biking, fishing, camping, or skiing. One of my most cherished memories is camping near Telluride with Taylor and Oli and taking in the unforgettable views on Bridal Veil Fall’s hiking trails, a favorite that still resonates with me.

As a Certified Financial Planner™ (CFP®) at Johlfs Wealth Management, I focus on helping clients facilitate financial freedom through customized, comprehensive strategies. My approach encompasses tax planning, retirement income strategies, risk management, employer benefits analysis, education funding, and estate planning. With a tailored plan in place, I strive to give my clients clarity and confidence as they move toward their financial goals.

Fun fact: I played football while attending Nebraska Wesleyan University.
