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

It is my pleasure to serve the financial needs of people in Des Plaines, Elk Grove, and Rosemont . My experience in the financial industry started in 2002 and I became a Wealth Management Banker in 2025.

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 The Palatine Amateur Football Association. In my free time, I enjoy being involved in the wide world of youth sports with my wife and son. We are often on a baseball diamond, a football field, or a basketball court. I also enjoy being outdoors with my family and going to concerts. I take pride in getting to know clients and having an impact on their lives.

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.

A home equity line of credit, or HELOC, works like a credit card that’s secured by the equity you have in your home, and can be a cost-effective way to pay for major purchases.

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.

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.
