About Me

My professional life is entirely focused on growth: I help businesses startup, grow, and thrive. I help families prepare for the inevitability of life, both good and bad so that their legacies can be whatever they want.

I grew up in a family of business owners, my grandfather started one of Omaha’s largest accounting firms, my other grandfather was a farmer and salesman (like their fathers, both my mother and father have been business owners in a variety of fields from mental health therapy to marketing). I’m an attorney who loves helping families and their businesses succeed.

From the time I was a little kid I was told that I should be a lawyer (mostly because I was really dramatic, and pretty good at arguing with people). That push only intensified during high school when I was an national award winning speaker with the National Speech and Debate Association (formerly the much cooler sounding National Forensics League or NFL). That path had me believe that all I wanted to do was be in a court room on my feet speaking and arguing.

While in college at UNO, I worked for the Nebraska Business Development Center, completely changing how I viewed my goals for the future. Working for NBDC led me to interact with a variety of business types and fueled my desire and for the first time made me think that while I wanted to be a lawyer, what I really wanted was to use the law to help businesses and families not just in the courtroom, but in their day to day activities. By the time I finished law school I knew I wanted a career helping businesses succeed, and helping families ensure that their future generations are well cared for.
