I’m passionate, straightforward, down to earth, and love to learn. I believe financial planning and investments should be delivered in a simple, honest, and easy to understand manner.
My 13-year career in the financial industry has led me to a few simple conclusions:
-
Advisors rarely LISTEN, tend to overcomplicate, and use jargon,
-
Your investments don’t have to be fancy or over-complicated, and most importantly should match YOUR vision for the future,
-
How and what you pay for advice should be transparent.
As a fee-only planner, I help people like YOU. I specialize in comprehensive financial planning for:
-
Busy professionals and executives who need help understanding their stock compensation, employee and executive benefits
