Investment Advisor


At the end of the day, Cameron’s job is to best position you for financial independence through planning. Everyone’s life is unique and complicated in their own way when it comes to finances but—with the right preparation—Cameron and the Wealth Management team can help you accomplish your goals.   

Cameron graduated from Boise State University school of Business and Economics with a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration. During his junior and senior years at Boise State, he managed his personal brokerage account, where he was able to generate adequate returns to pay for living expenses and help fund his education.

Quickly following college, he took a couple months and completed a dream of his—receiving a Private Pilot’s License. It wasn’t soon after that he reached out to New York Life Insurance in hopes of starting a career in the Finance & Insurance industry(s). He spent a month studying for his health and life insurance licenses and with passing both, he joined NYL for roughly 5 months before realizing that his true passion was wanting to help individuals with holistic financial planning.

On the weekends or during free time, Cameron enjoys playing a round of golf in the summer months or skiing during the winter months. Cameron is also a Private Pilot—every so often you’ll find him exploring the beautiful state of Idaho from the sky.
