Being a financial advisor is so much more than buying and selling stocks, bonds, etc. It allows me to educate, teach and be a financial emotional coach for our clients.

An important experience led me to this career. My father had taught me about finances and helped me build a portfolio soon after college, one I still hold today. My father passed away suddenly, and my mother needed help understanding her finances. Due to his passing, I was able to coach my mother and was left with the realization that there must be many other people who could benefit from having a financial coach.

Today I give guidance to folks to help them identify, set and achieve their most important goals by:
-Helping clients transition into a purposeful retirement to enjoy with family and friends.
-Seeing their children/grandchildren off to college to spread their wings into their young adult lives.
-Providing wealth strategies for leaving a legacy for their family and/or organizations they are passionate about.

My greatest thrill is to celebrate our clients' successes as they reach their goals!
