Mark is a native Nebraskan. Growing up surrounded by agriculture and small business families he understands the importance of money management and investment strategies. After graduating from Chadron State College with a secondary education degree he spent time teaching throughout Nebraska. He earned a master’s degree in education administration from the University of Nebraska at Kearney.
As time went on, Mark combined his passion for helping others through teaching and finance to create a personalized financial planning experience. Courageous Divorce Strategies was developed after experiencing a need for a more structured financial approach during a difficult divorce. By earning my Certified Divorce Financial Analyst (CDFA®) designation, I have a deeper knowledge and understanding, to help clients plan and prepare for the short and long-term financial impacts of different settlement proposals.
“Personally, it took a lot of courage to go through the divorce process and challenge the status quo. Other than the effect on children, the scariest part of divorce is the financial impact.”
