Today, we celebrate the hard work, dedication and perseverance that shape our lives in meaningful ways every day.

Wishing you a relaxing and well-earned Labor Day!

Before school started back, I had the chance to bring my son to the office for the day.

One of my favorite things about him is his curiosity. He loves to learn, asks A LOT of questions, and is always interested in understanding how things work.

It was fun watching him meet our team, sit in on parts of the day, and soak up new experiences. Seeing things through his eyes was a great reminder that growth starts with being willing to ask questions and stay curious.

Proud of the young man he's becoming and grateful for the opportunity to share a small part of my world with him.

Grateful for the opportunity to attend the Ameriprise National Conference in Denver with Larkin Watson. It was an incredible week of learning, sharing ideas, and connecting with some of the top advisors from across the country.

I'm proud to be part of Ameriprise Financial, recently recognized by TIME as one of America's Most Iconic Companies for 2026 and the highest-ranked diversified financial services firm on the list.

One of the highlights of the trip was stepping away from the conference and hiking the Royal Arch Trail in Boulder with my wife, Emily. The 1,500-foot climb was challenging, but the views at the top were absolutely worth it.

Experiences like these are a great reminder that growth happens both professionally and personally. I'm grateful for the opportunity to learn, recharge, and bring fresh ideas back to our team and the families we serve every day.

Nothing brings a team together quite like celebrating life's special moments. 💛

Last week we celebrated Zach and his wife, Jana, with a baby shower and shared our excitement as they prepare to welcome their little one. Join us in congratulating the happy parents-to-be! 🎉

Last Friday, more than 400 riders took to the roads of South Carolina for the Ride to End ALZ® South Carolina | Alzheimer's Association, demonstrating incredible strength, determination, and commitment over three days.

We were honored to once again support this meaningful event as volunteers and sponsors. Together, everyone helped raise more than $1.2 million to advance Alzheimer’s research, increase awareness, and support those impacted by the disease.

Thank you to everyone who participated and contributed to this year’s success. We loved being part of the kickoff festivities and celebrating the passion and dedication of this amazing community. 💜🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️

This weekend is the 17th Annual Ride to End ALZ® South Carolina | Alzheimer's Association, and I couldn’t be more excited to ride again this year.

Ameriprise Financial and the BWA Team have been honored to sponsor this event from the very beginning, and I’m grateful for the chance to continue supporting all those impacted by this horrible disease.

Thank you to the incredible volunteers, supporters, and riders who make this event so meaningful every year. 💜

See you all on Friday!
