As a Certified Financial Planner™ with Mutual of Omaha, I help financially successful individuals over 55 who are within 5–7 years of retirement navigate the pivotal years ahead with confidence. This stag

e – what I call the Red Zone Retirement™ – is when the stakes are highest, and the right strategies can make all the difference. I specialize in guiding clients who’ve built significant savings through this critical phase, helping them protect what they’ve earned, minimize taxes, and create a lasting legacy for their families. My mission is simple: to help you retire on your terms — with clarity, confidence, and peace of mind. With experience in tax-smart retirement income planning, risk management, and legacy-focused strategies, my team and I work alongside you to align every part of your financial life, including:

Pre-retirement and retirement income planning
Investment management tailored to your retirement goals
Tax-efficient strategies to help you keep more of what you’ve earned
Coordinated insurance solutions to help protect your family and lifestyle
Legacy and estate planning to pass on your wealth intentionally

I’m also the author of 21 Things You Need to Know About Money, What’s Your Plan?, and Red Zone Retirement Plan. My wife, Katie, and I live in Norfolk, Nebraska with our four boys – Hudson, Kiptyn, Tate, and Spencer – who keep us busy and grateful. Outside of work, I enjoy coaching youth sports, spending time outdoors, and relaxing at the river with my family. We serve clients nationwide, both remotely and through office locations where I’m licensed to do business. No matter where you live, if you’re approaching retirement and want a plan designed to protect your wealth, reduce your tax burden, and leave a meaningful legacy, I’d be honored to help.

Think your estate is just one lump sum for your kids? Think again. 🏦 Life insurance passes income tax-free. Brokerage accounts get a step-up in basis, also tax-free. But a pre-tax IRA? Your kids will owe taxes on every dollar as they withdraw it over 10 years. Same total balance, very different outcomes.

A bucket strategy can be a great way to organize retirement income, but it isn't a complete retirement plan. Holding too much cash can reduce long-term growth, every bucket eventually needs to be replenished, and your withdrawal strategy still needs to work alongside taxes, Social Security, investments, and Required Minimum Distributions. The goal isn't simply to divide your money into buckets. It's to build a coordinated plan that supports your retirement for decades. Follow for more!

He paid off his mortgage 10 years early and thought he won. But every dollar that went to a 3.5% mortgage was a dollar that didn't go into the market. Fast forward to 65: house-rich, cash-poor, and stressed about monthly bills. 🏠💸 Retirement is about income, not just assets. Do the math on your mortgage before you rush to pay it off.

The age you retire changes everything. 📅 With $1.5M saved and $70K/year needed, retiring at 55 puts a 4.7% withdrawal rate on your portfolio. Wait until 70, and Social Security alone could cover most of it, dropping that pressure to just 2.2%. There's no perfect retirement age, only the one that fits your income, assets, and plan

Don't let your husband file for Social Security the same month he retires without knowing what it locks in for YOU. 👵 If he's the higher earner, his benefit isn't just his — it becomes your survivor check if he passes first. File early, and that lower number is what you're living on for the next 20-30 years, not a temporary dip. The fix? Retiring and filing don't have to happen the same day — he can stop working and let that benefit grow while you fund the gap another way. Before he signs anything, the real question isn't "does this work today" — it's what happens to whichever one of you is still here in two decades. Want me to run your numbers first? Send me a DM. 💬

A $550,000 portfolio doesn't automatically mean you can safely spend $72,000 a year. But when you combine a small pension, strategically timed Social Security, healthcare planning, and carefully managed withdrawals, the picture can change dramatically. In this example, the pension and Social Security covered most of the couple's monthly spending, leaving the portfolio responsible for only a small income gap. The lesson is that retirement income shouldn't be viewed as "portfolio withdrawals versus nothing." Guaranteed income, taxes, healthcare, and timing all need to work together.

Sometimes it's maximizing retirement contributions. Sometimes it's protecting what you've already built. Knowing which step comes next can make a huge difference over time. If you're wondering where your next dollar should go, this month's newsletter gives you a simple framework to help you decide.
