Daniel has been in both the real estate and the financial services industries for many years. He first became interested in business at the early age of ten, when he started selling farm-fresh eggs from his own chickens. This established his passion for working hard to achieve his goals, which he maintains and now channels into his clients’ wealth management efforts. He is focused on educating his clients on their retirement strategies and helping guide them through their financial plan. To better serve his clients, Daniel holds the FINRA Series 7 and 66 securities licenses and is insurance licensed in the state of Kansas.

Prior to joining Smith Moore, Daniel obtained his associate degree in communications from Allen County Community College and is currently working toward his Bachelor of Business Administration degree from Western Governors University. He lives in Topeka with his wife, Trinity, and their daughter, Azalea. They attend Capital City Church in Topeka and enjoy supporting friends and family on mission trips whenever possible. In his free time, Daniel likes drumming and playing music with friends, hiking on nearby trails, and playing board games or basketball with his family.

Thad loves his job because, most days, it does not feel like work. He has had the opportunity to partner with hundreds of people across his 15 years in the industry and has witnessed how change has impacted the financial trajectory of their lives and future generations. He enjoys working with clients as he continues to serve both their financial needs and life goals.

At the early age of eight, Thad created his first business by building a paper route selling the Grit newspaper to his country neighbors. Thad owned and operated restaurants for 15 years and will say he went to the “school of hard knocks.” Prior to his experience in the restaurant business, he attended Washburn University in Topeka, Kansas, and is grateful for the education he earned both in school and through real-world experience.

Today, helping his clients achieve what they want out of life is Thad’s main focus. He aims to maximize tax efficiencies and allows for maximum flexibility by utilizing a wide-ranging combination of wealth management tools, strategies, and investment vehicles. He holds the Series 7 and 66 licenses, is securities licensed in fifteen states, and life and long-term care insurance licensed in Kansas, Missouri, New Mexico, and Texas.

Thad is a committed member of the Topeka Baptist Church and volunteers with several faith-based organizations that minister locally and around the world. He is a board member of the Auburn Community Center, where he lives with his wife, Michelle. Together, they have eleven children, one grandchild, and love spending time outdoors living life to the fullest. Thad is an enthusiast of American history, American coinage and currency, and classic cars. Thad can identify most classic cars between the 1950s and 1970s and has even worked on restoring them.
