Professional Approach

Paul is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional with a deep commitment to his clients, bringing over three decades of experience in the financial services sector. He has served as a Financial Advisor since 1999, partnering with individuals and small businesses to define and work toward their financial goals.

Paul’s comprehensive approach centers on listening closely to understand each person’s unique circumstances, allowing him to develop truly personalized, client-first strategies designed to achieve measurable results. He believes that putting client interests first is the cornerstone of excellence in his business, and he remains a lifelong learner, continuously deepening his knowledge of portfolio management and financial planning to serve his clients effectively in an ever-changing world.

Paul’s career is built on a strong foundation of trust and service. After graduating from the University of Wisconsin – Madison in 1985, he moved to the Twin Cities in 1987. He spent more than a decade working with The ELCA Board of Pensions, the benefits arm of the largest American Lutheran church. This extensive background in non-profit financial services provided a natural transition to his current role as a Financial Advisor.

Having lived in the Twin Cities for over 30 years, Paul is deeply rooted in the local community. He lives there with his wife, Barb, and they enjoy having their two children (Josh and Hannah), son-in-law (Mike), and granddaughter (Adeline) all living nearby.

Active in local service, Paul has contributed his time in various ways, including stints on the local YMCA board, service at his local church, and Toastmasters. He currently holds a special affinity for the organization Hands of Freedom, providing regular support to help children in India build a better future for themselves.
