Find Top Financial Advisors in Hiawatha, Iowa

I'm a financial planner who believes your money should support your life and not the other way around. Whether you're preparing for retirement, managing debt, building wealth, or navigating a major life transition, I help clients design a personalized roadmap so they can make confident, values-driven financial decisions. At the heart of my practice is the belief that a strong financial plan lays the foundation for an effective investment strategy. I work closely with each client to understand their goals, priorities, and unique circumstances and then build a tailored roadmap to help them move forward with clarity and purpose.

To ensure the plan and portfolio work seamlessly together, I manage investments in-house using a behavioral, methodical, and data-driven approach. I focus on long-term alignment, cost-efficiency, and minimizing unnecessary risks, so my clients can trust that their money is working for them, not against them.

To better serve a wide range of financial needs, I hold three advanced designations: CFP^® (Certified Financial Planner^™) for holistic, fiduciary-based planning. AFC^® (Accredited Financial Counselor) for debt, cash flow, and budgeting guidance. CSLP^® (Certified Student Loan Professional) for complex student loan repayment planning. I care deeply about building long-term client relationships based on trust, transparency, and partnership. Everyone's version of success looks different, and my goal is to meet clients where they are and help them get where they want to go as strategically as possible.

I was born and raised in Iowa and currently live in Adel with my wife, Ashley (my high school sweetheart), our daughter, and our two dogs. I graduated from Upper Iowa University, where I earned my bachelor's degree and wrestled collegiately. In my free time, I enjoy working out, traveling to national parks, watching movies, and shooting sporting clays.

We help clients demystify their finances. Understanding personal finances can be scary, intimidating, frustrating, and time-consuming. Sometimes advisors make things worse by being scary and intimidating on purpose. It doesn't have to be that way.

At TrueWealth Stewardship, we educate on how to make better financial decisions. How do we do this? By utilizing our IDEA Process. We start by IDENTIFYING their needs. Then we DEVELOP a customized financial plan. A plan based on our client's life, not someone from the movies or a commercial. We don't and won't do a cookie-cutter analysis or straight-off-the-shelf robo plans like other companies pass off as "original thinking." You're not a penguin. You're not a sheep. You're a person. We help people who want to be our clients. And for those clients who want additional help, we work together to EXECUTE their plan and then ADAPT their plan as needs and situations change.

I am an Investment Adviser Representative of Royal Fund Management. I like to think of myself as a "financial wellness advisor" specializing in helping my clients create, grow, and watch over their income. More often than not, financial planning and advice is a result of being educated. Having been a facilitator to college student learning and tabbed with the wonderful task of teaching management, budgeting and finance classes, I use my prior education experience to develop a plan that is tailored for you. Subsequently, as a fiduciary, I have the responsibility to act in your best interest just as I had the responsibility to act in my students best interests.
