Clients I specialize in: New investors, Nearing retirement, Established investors

It is my pleasure to serve the financial needs of people in Norwood Park, Morton Grove, and in Chicago. My experience in the financial industry started in 2016 and I became a Wealth Management Banker in 2024.

I want to make managing your finances as easy as possible for you. As your Wealth Management Banker, I will partner with an investment professional to bring you a holistic approach to financial management. We will collaborate to understand your financial situation and propose personalized strategies to help you work toward your financial goals.

Outside of work, I volunteer with my local youth baseball organization. I have been a youth baseball coach in Lincolnwood since 2016. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my wife and three children. We enjoy taking road trips together to various destinations within the U.S. and Canada. I also like to exercise and attend sporting events and concerts.

Services I specialize in

To support your personal or business needs we offer a range of premier banking products, financing options and exclusive benefits, plus 24/7 account management through digital channels.

Liquid asset secured financing – a line of credit secured by eligible assets in your investment account – can be useful when you want to generate cash flow quickly for a financial opportunity or challenge.

From purchasing a first home to financing investment property, we have your mortgage needs covered with a variety of loan options, plus information to support you on your homebuying journey.

Whether a loan, line of credit or other financing alternative is the best fit for what you’re working to achieve, we’ll help you review your options and create a funding plan.
