Education Planning

“Giving the gift of a college education is like making an investment in your children or grandchildren that pays them dividends for a lifetime.”

An important desire for many parents is ensuring their children can attend college.

At NovaDius, we understand that funding your child’s education requires commitment and careful planning.  After all, we have kids who are about to enter college too!  To help prepare for your child’s higher education dreams, we will work closely with you to develop a plan that is right for your family.  NovaDius will:

  • Analyze your family’s education needs.
  • Determine the best option for your family’s and child’s specific situation.
  • Recommend the proper funding strategies.
  • Assist with the appropriate investment selection and portfolio allocation.
  • Monitor your investments and rebalance the allocation when necessary.

By following an educational funding plan, we will help you ensure your education savings remain on track with your child’s timeline and goals.  NovaDius has experience and insight into many educational funding account types including:

  • 529 Plans
  • Coverdell Educations Savings Accounts (ESAs)
  • Pre-paid tuition plans

Child or Grandchild Financial Mentoring

Secondary Education Planning is a family endeavor as it impacts every family member’s life.  NovaDius, as your financial advisor, can also mentor your child when it comes to investments and financial planning.  Inviting them into the process and forming our own relationship with them offers numerous lifelong benefits.  They will receive financial and investment insight, advice, knowledge, and education that they can take with them throughout their life.  As independent adults, they will have the necessary skills to make better informed decisions along their own financial journey.

My Story:

Like many in our field, I was initially drawn to financial planning by the numbers. But what’s kept me here is the people. Over the years, I’ve seen how easily financial guidance can become disconnected from the lives it’s meant to serve. I wanted to be part of a firm where relationships come first—where we know our clients well enough to anticipate their needs, not just react to them. Novadius is that firm.

Why Novadius:

I joined Novadius to be part of something different. We started this firm to challenge the status quo of an industry where promises often go unfulfilled—firms claiming to offer “customized plans” and “deep client relationships” while managing hundreds or even thousands of accounts. That’s not us. At Novadius, we limit the number of clients we work with so we can deliver on what we promise. Every plan is tailored, every strategy is intentional, and every relationship matters. We treat our clients the way we treat our families—because that’s how it should be.

Family:

I live in Fairway, Kansas with my wife Michelle, our son Henry, our daughter Elizabeth, and our dog Rush.

Hobbies:

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends. I’m also proud to serve on the Finance Committee at our church.
