As a Partner and Shareholder with the Parr McKnight Wealth Management Group, I bring over 15 years of experience in helping clients transition effectively into the “work optional” phase of life. My journey with Parr McKnight began as an intern during college, where I quickly advanced to Financial Advisor, and now, I am proud to be a partner and shareholder in the firm.
I graduated from the University of Minnesota with a Bachelor of Arts Degree, focusing on economics, sociology, and finance. Shortly after graduation, I earned my CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ certification, solidifying my commitment to providing expert financial guidance. My dedication to my clients' success has been recognized within the industry by organizations such as Forbes, which named me one of Forbes' Top Next-Gen Wealth Advisors Best-in-State in both 2022 and 2023 as well as one of Forbes' Best-In-State Wealth Advisors in 2024.
I am married to Jessie, and together we have three wonderful children: JJ (8), Nellie (5), and Savannah (2). JJ is an origami, Rubik’s cube, and basketball enthusiast, while Nellie loves singing, dancing, and all things Barbie. Savannah, the newest Rudi, is always entertained by her older siblings.
On a personal note, I am passionate about reading personal development, philosophy, and planning books, traveling, and serving as my family's gourmet chef. I am also a news enthusiast, keeping a close eye on politics, the economy, and markets. Faith is a cornerstone of my life, and I attend a weekly Bible study that enriches my spiritual journey. I value meaningful conversations that go beyond chitchat, whether with clients, longtime friends, or new acquaintances at the playground.
Our team's mission is to enhance the quality of our clients' lives, bringing prosperity and blessings to those we serve. I strive to help clients realize that they have what it takes to be successful, financially strong, and live the life of their dreams.
