Philosophy

My philosophy of making recommendations to clients is based on one question: “What would I do in this situation?” Getting to know clients, hearing their personal stories, how they arrived where they are today, and where they see themselves 10 or 20 years from now, serves as my daily motivation. My goal is always to form a strong personal relationship with my clients. By truly knowing them, I understand to help ensuring the rest of their journey is seamless and comfortable.

What do you want clients to know about your department?

The Wealth Management team at Sunflower Bank consists of tenured, passionate, and knowledgeable bankers all doing whatever it takes to get the job done.  Our team of experts execute with compassion and precision, pulling together resources across business lines, making what we do for our clients a true team effort.

Most Valuable Lesson

To make client recommendations as if it were my own decision to make: “If it were me in this situation, what I would do?”
