Community Involvement
Meaningful participation in our community is very important to me. My wife and I are active members of River City Church, a church plant of Greentree Community Church. In addition, I serve on the Legacy Council of University of Missouri - St. Louis, the Planned Giving Committee of the Saint Louis Zoo, and previously of Ronald McDonald House of St. Louis (2004-2018).
In my practice, I strive to help individuals and families leverage their estates to leave a legacy that benefits the charities and causes they most care about.
