I grew up in Centerville, Utah and now reside in the city of St. George with my wife, Julie, and my children, Carter and Peyton. My eldest daughter, Tayler, and her husband, Nicklaus also live in the St George area. As a family, we enjoy traveling to any place that has a beach and getting together with friends and other family members. We are an active group who likes to play golf, ride bicycles, and participate in other outdoor activities.
In addition to spending time with my family, my interests include golfing, playing soccer and running in an occasional Spartan Race. I was born in Honolulu, Hawaii and always enjoy the chance to return there. I am a big fan of the Utah Jazz and Real Salt Lake, and enjoy watching football, soccer, basketball and golf. Several years ago, I had the opportunity to be a contestant on the “Wheel of Fortune” game show. It was an enjoyable experience and I even won a few bucks for my efforts. I also served a couple of years on the island of Puerto Rico as a missionary, where I learned the Spanish language. While there, I survived a Category 5 hurricane and made some friends that I still keep in touch with today.
I graduated in 1994 from Utah State University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Finance. I spent a year at Norwest Bank before joining my father in the brokerage business at Everen Securities. After his retirement, I continued working at Wells Fargo Advisors until July 2022. Now, as a Managing Director of The Brenchley Group of Family Wealth Management, I can utilize my 27 years of investment experience to help enhance the quality of life of the clients I serve. Through comprehensive wealth planning and management, my mission is to partner with my clients to accomplish their financial goals and attain their lifetime dreams and aspirations.
