My interest in investing began at an early age. Instead of spending my earnings from my newspaper route, I invested in the stock market. By my early 20s, I had earned enough return to pay for my graduate education. Over the years, I have grown this financial knowledge and presently create comprehensive, inter-generational wealth strategies for a variety of client needs, including:

• Mature investors desiring to pass on a legacy of sound decision-making and wealth preservation;
• Retirees looking to stretch their savings to fund their needs and desires, as well as those of their heirs;
• Parents in the "sandwich generation" providing for their children, their parents and their own retirement; and
• Small business owners planning to grow their businesses with an eye to the next generation.

I have provided clients with investment services through two recessions and two bull markets. Before joining Edward Jones in 2008, I worked at a national securities brokerage in downtown San Francisco, followed by a financial planning firm where I worked on a team developing financial planning and stock option execution strategies for corporate executives.

I have a Bachelor of Science degree from Cornell University and a Master of Science degree from Columbia University. I serve as a trainer for new financial advisors at Edward Jones, and in 2014, the firm invited me to become a limited partner.

I participate in a number of community leadership roles, serving on the boards of the Rotary Club of West Marin, the Downtown Novato Business Association and the Tomales Town Hall fundraising efforts. Previously, I served in leadership roles on the boards of Petaluma's Cinnabar Theater and the New Arts Foundation (for Modern Dance) in San Francisco.
