As the husband of a physician assistant and the brother of a physician, I noticed something off in the financial planning industry. Physician assistants were getting the short end of the stick while physicians got the red-carpet treatment. That is why I built Advanced Practice Planning. My goal is to fill the gap left by old-school finance and make sure APPs get the guidance they deserve. As a Certified Financial Planner (CFP®) and Chartered Financial Consultant (ChFC®), I bring the expertise to help APPs work through the complex parts of their financial lives. I have been featured in publications such as CNBC, MarketWatch, and Investor’s Business Daily, where I have shared strategies for budgeting, negotiating employment contracts, and more. When I am not working, you will find me in the Montana landscape. Skiing, hiking, or floating the Bitterroot River on a Saturday. You might catch me at a Penn State football game in the fall while visiting family in Pennsylvania. We are!
