In June of 2008, I started my own wealth management practice in association with SeaCrest Wealth Management. The objective approach and open architecture that is available to clients is truly refreshing and has long been a desired goal of mine. Giving back to the community has always been important to me. I have served on many nonprofit boards such as the Rapid City Area Chamber of Commerce Transportation Committee the Pennington County Humane Society and the Rapid City YMCA.
