I joined my father’s business, Ricketts, Ricketts & Associates, in 2000 and have spent more than two decades helping individuals and families navigate life’s financial challenges with clarity and confidence.

A graduate of Tecumseh High School and Eastern Michigan University, I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Public Law and Government. Before entering the financial services industry, I served six years in the U.S. Army and Michigan National Guard and later worked for the State of Michigan — experiences that shaped my commitment to service, discipline, and accountability.

At Ricketts, Ricketts & Associates, my focus is on comprehensive financial planning — guiding clients through retirement, investment, insurance, tax, and estate planning decisions. My approach is rooted in education, collaboration, and follow-through. I don’t believe in one-time transactions; I believe in building lifelong financial partnerships.

My wife, Karen, and I live in Adrian, Michigan, where we enjoy time with our two children, Andrew and Natasha, and our two grandchildren.

In 2011, I began my career with Edward Jones as a Branch Office Administrator. Over the years, I discovered that my true passion lies in helping people directly—listening to their goals, understanding their challenges, and guiding them toward financial confidence.

I realized that many individuals and families believe working with a Financial Advisor is out of reach, and I wanted to change that perception.

Now, as a Financial Advisor with Ricketts, Ricketts & Associates, my goal is to make financial guidance accessible and personal. I take the time to understand what truly matters to you—your hopes, dreams, and priorities. Every conversation begins there. Building meaningful relationships is the foundation of my practice, and
I value the opportunity to meet face-to-face and build trust with each of my clients.

Whether you’re planning for retirement, saving for a child or grandchild’s education, or working to protect the financial future of those you love, we’ll work together to create tailored strategies designed to help you reach your goals. I also partner with CPAs, attorneys, and other trusted professionals to ensure you receive a comprehensive financial strategy that leverages everyone’s expertise.
I understand that not everyone comes to me knowing exactly what they need or where to start—and that’s okay.

My role is to guide you through the process, helping you identify your priorities, set realistic goals, and develop strategies to achieve them. I also enjoy working with business owners to review or establish retirement plans. With the opportunities provided by the SECURE Act 2.0, creating or enhancing a plan has never been easier, helping attract and retain valued employees.
I believe in investing time to understand what you’re working toward before you invest your money.

Together, we’ll assess your comfort level with risk and create a plan that balances your goals with your peace of mind. As your life evolves, I’ll continue to monitor your progress and adjust as needed—always with your best interests at heart.
I earned my Bachelor of Business Administration from Lawrence Technological University.

I’ve been happily married to my husband, Bill, for more than 35 years, and we are proud parents of four adult children and grandparents to three wonderful grandchildren. I am also a member of the Greater Lenawee Chamber and enjoy spending time with family whenever possible.

I became a Financial Advisor because I’m passionate about helping others. My mission is to provide education, support, and sound advice so you can make informed decisions and feel confident about your financial future.

Today is a great day to start planning—with a trusted partner by your side.
