A Letter from the Founder

I started Iowa Retirement Benefits & Solutions with a simple goal: to help people feel confident about retirement.
After years in the financial industry, I saw too many hardworking people handed cookie-cutter advice that didn’t answer their real questions.
The plans all looked the same, and the biggest gaps (taxes, healthcare, income) were left wide open.
I knew there had to be a better way.
To me, retirement is about more than just investments. It’s about having a roadmap that ties everything together — income, taxes, healthcare, and estate planning — so you can stop worrying about “what if” and start focusing on living.
That’s why I built IRBS to be different. We’re independent, which means we work for you — not a wall street firm.
We’re local, which means we understand this community because we live here too. And everything we do is explained in plain English, no jargon and no hidden agendas.
When I sit down with someone, I don’t just see account balances. I see families — parents, grandparents, couples — who’ve worked hard and want clarity about what comes next.
That’s why IRBS exists: to take the weight of planning off your shoulders and give you confidence for the road ahead.
Retirement shouldn’t feel uncertain. With the right guide, it can feel like the journey you’ve been waiting for.

I started Iowa Retirement Benefits & Solutions with a simple goal: to help people feel confident about retirement. That mission matters to me because I’m not just a financial planner; I’m also a dad.

My fiancée and I are raising our two boys, Easton and Jetson, in Mount Vernon, and being present for them is just as important as serving my clients well. That balance shapes how I approach both work and life.

Outside the office, you’ll probably find me at a Coe College wrestling meet, out hunting, or enjoying the outdoors with my family. For me, this career has never been about charts and statements — it’s about helping families feel confident enough to enjoy the life they’ve worked hard to build.
