Financial planning is an ongoing process of preparing for and reacting to critical financial events. They can be as diverse as planning for retirement, selling a business, receiving an inheritance, buying a recreational property, or proactively planning for a legacy. Our resources and expertise help to prepare our clients for such events, so that they can pursue their financial and lifestyle goals.

Stratos Wealth Partners’ Around the Sun Model (ArTs Model) offers each of our clients a clear and guided process through each stage of their financial life. While you may not need all seven rays to shine on you right now, over time, you may need the warmth of each ray of our process.

Branch Manager for Raynor Brokerage LLC.  For over 30 years I've been working with people, just like you, to create generational wealth by helping them purchase their first home and by showing them how simple it is to purchase an investment or vacation home.  I've become an expert in all areas of credit, first time homebuyers, grant programs, investment properties, second homes, property flips and have specialized commercial loans. I excel in personal attention to your mortgage loan purchase or refinance. I walk each and every client through the mortgage process like no one else and being a mortgage broker, rates are fees are as low as they come. Experience matters. 

I teach Continuing Education classes on How to Obtain Perfect Credit and Real Estate Agent Safety classes to Utah Real Estate Agents.  I teach one on one handgun training and Utah's Concealed Firearm Permit class.  I'm also a high school volleyball referee.

I grew up on a ranch in Northern California where I learned the importance of hard work alongside my parents and five younger brothers.  After graduating from high school, I attended Ricks College where I competed in track and field, and then transferred to Utah State before joining the United States Coast Guard.  I thoroughly enjoyed the four and a half years I spent serving my country on the ocean touring the Bering Sea and working with units on the Northern Great Lakes. 

After my military service, I moved to Utah where I met my angel at a dance.  Angela continues to be my perfect partner on and off the dance floor.  We each brought to our union two daughters who are all older now with three of them married (one grandson, a step granddaughter and three granddaughters)!  We were also so excited to bring a boy into our family to help balance all that female energy and he is graduated and joined the Utah Army National Guard.

With the support of Angela, I was able to finish my bachelor’s degree in Business Management and my Master of Business Administration.  I am a licensed Insurance agent in the state of Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, and Texas; and look forward to working with you for all your insurance needs.  Please feel free to call me anytime with any questions or concerns you may have.
