Abundance... It's all about LOVE.

My passion is to build a communtiy of Abundance Minded individuals and families, as my over 25 years of experience as a Money Concepts Financial Planning Center President have revealed to me that this is where financial freedom truly begins.

In addition to being a Certified Financial Planner TM professional, I am a General Securities Registered Representative (Series 7), a Registered Investment Advisors Agent (Series 66), as well as a licensed insurance agent.

This is important because it allows me to be truly client centric as I am able to be engaged in whichever manner is most comfortable for a specific client.

I graduated from the University of Missouri Columbia in 1990 with a degree in Economics. After working for several years as a retail banking consultant, in 2001 I founded a Money Concepts financial planning center in St. Charles, MO to provide independent financial planning services to area business owners and professionals.

In 2007, after graduating from the College for Financial Planning, I became a Certified Financial PlannerTM professional.

Thomas brings a unique blend of real-world experience and client-centered purpose to his new role.

Over the years, he and his wife have shared a passion for financial education—teaching clients how money works and leading Financial Peace University classes at their church.
 
In 2022, Thomas earned his Series 65 and began working as a holistic financial planner, focusing on distribution planning strategies. He is also a Certified Financial Fiduciary, committed to serving clients with integrity and transparency.
 
Outside the office, Thomas and his wife have been married for 22 years and have two children—a daughter studying culinary arts and a son who’s a high school senior—as well as three dogs that keep things lively at home.
