Who will help you navigate storms?

My wife, Lindsay, and I were lucky enough to charter a sail boat off the coast of Maine for our honeymoon. Lindsay grew up doing a little sailing but this was my first experience. Our six-day trip included some incredible sights and our captain was even kind enough to allow me to sail the boat from time to time.

On one particular day, while I was steering the boat on a sunny and calm afternoon, I remember thinking how easy and relaxing sailing was. Then, out of nowhere, storm clouds blew in bringing heavy winds and rain. My relaxed attitude quickly turned to fear and I was happy to turn control of the vessel back to our captain.

Captain Noah was a second generation sailor who had the experience, navigation tools and confidence to get our ship safely positioned into a small protected cove. As the storm ended, just as quickly as it started, I can remember thinking how grateful I was to have someone watching out for us. The outcome with him at the wheel was certainly better than trying to navigate the storm on my own.

I tell you this story because I help my clients as the "captain" of their financial journey. Our experience, planning tools and confidence will help you navigate market cycles and achieve what is most important to you.

I earned my CFP® designation in 2013 and abide by the CFP Board’s Code of Ethics and Financial Planning Practice Standards.

On a personal note, my wife and I live in John's Creek with our two young children. When spending time together we enjoy boating, going on hikes and playing tennis.
