When I founded Diamond Financial Group in 2000, my vision was to create a firm where people never felt like just another account. I wanted to build a practice centered on honest conversations, thoughtful advice, and relationships that stand the test of time.
Before entering financial services, I spent several years working as an engineer. That experience taught me to approach challenges with patience, discipline, and careful analysis—qualities that continue to shape the way I serve clients today.
One principle has guided me throughout my career: "Failing to plan is planning to fail." I believe the best financial decisions are rarely rushed. Taking the time to prepare, ask questions, and think beyond today often makes all the difference tomorrow.
When I'm away from the office, you'll often find me enjoying the outdoors, spending time hunting, or traveling with my wife, Myra. Those moments remind me to appreciate life's simple pleasures, value time with the people who matter most, and maintain perspective—both personally and professionally.
