Tim and his wife have three adult sons, all married. They have one grandchild and are hoping for more! They love and look forward to family time on and around the lake.

I enjoy utilizing my estate planning experience to help clients create and understand an appropriate estate plan. It’s such an important part of an overall financial plan.
