Community Involvement and Volunteerism

Trust, Education and Service are the core values of my practice. I regularly volunteer a combined 250 hours or more annually to the organizations below. I have a passion for helping youth and those who need assistance in the community. If you want to learn more about these organizations or get involved, just ask me.

I am excited to share that I have been chosen as one of 75 nationwide Honorable Mention recipients in 2026 for the 20th Annual "Invest in Others Awards" for my charitable contributions to the Iowa Chapter of the Alzheimer's Association and rural families facing the challenges of navigating a dementia diagnosis on the farm. 

The Invest in Others Awards program recognizes the charitable work of financial advisors in communities across the country. My recognition stems from my role as a volunteer community educator and an advisory board member for the Iowa Chapter of the Alzheimer's Association. Additionally, I serve as a Dementia Friends Champion, training businesses to recognize signs of dementia in potential clients and customers, helping them become "Dementia Friendly." I also authored "Tending What Matters, a Financial Planner's Guide to Agricultural Families Navigating Dementia." 

Each year, Invest In Others receives hundreds of worthy nominations, and Honorable Mentions are awarded for the significant contributions advisors make in their communities. I am proud to receive this recognition!
