I needed a financial strategy; I put myself through college, and didn't have the cash for tuition, so I had to make wise choices from the onset. I wanted an actionable plan for when I graduated; to pay off debt, provide for daily living and invest with proper diversification for my future. I knew I had the ability to create my own tailored strategy. I soon discovered in my finance classes that not only did I implicitly understand how the pieces fit together, but I also loved to talk about creating a strategy. I had uncovered my true passion for investing and the comprehensive process and how I could make a real impact in the lives of others by sharing this passion. I have also taken the time to further my knowledge and completed my CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ certification which has deepened my commitment to understanding people's financial lives.

As your financial advisor, the core tenet of my practice is to go beyond simply providing sound investment advice. Diversification does matter, but ultimately, a great financial strategy does not come solely from knowing investments; it comes from knowing you. Having a comprehensive understanding of your wants, needs and personal aspirations will enable me to help relieve the burden of managing your finances while offering you tailored solutions, freeing you to focus on what is most important to you.

My clients and I often have conversations you might not expect from a financial advisor. They have less to do with the details of asset allocation strategy and more to do with the details of your life. Working together, we'll review your concerns, prioritize your goals and create a strategy to help achieve the outcomes you desire. I draw on world-class research, subject matters experts and a robust investment platform to ensure all aspects of the strategy are best fit for your needs. This process allows me to develop a conservative wealth strategy aimed at helping you live comfortably today and protect a family legacy for the future.

When I do get a free moment, I enjoy hiking, hanging out with my stepchildren, fishing, listening to records, classic cars and an occasional Pacific Northwest microbrew.
