MY WHY
Why I Became a Financial Advisor
After working as an intern for an insurance company, I became aware of the conflicts of interest that existed in financial services. Many insurance sales representatives calling themselves “financial advisors” made their living by aggressively selling high-fee insurance policies to earn maximum commissions.
Upon college graduation in 2008, I witnessed many families experience tragic financial hardship and the desire to help myself and others with financial planning was formed. The insurance internship was invaluable because it showed me the path I wanted to avoid. Working under a fiduciary structure truly allows the ability to put others before myself and to offer the same advice to clients that I would to my own family.
Finding Solutions
I provide a holistic approach to financial planning, helping clients become specific about their vision of a successful financial life. That is why I focus on creating a comfortable environment that encourages the critical conversations essential to complex financial conversations.
Beginning with the first introduction, I concentrate on finding solutions to help someone achieve their goals. Through a carefully constructed plan, we can increase the reliability of financial planning outcomes using a goals-based, empathetic approach.

GETTING TO KNOW YOU
I view our first meeting as a great opportunity to understand what matters to you and get a good understanding of your entire financial situation in context.

BUILDING A THOUGHTFUL PLAN
After the first meeting, I will build and send a custom financial plan detailing action Items built to improve your financial life.

REVIEWING THE PLAN TOGETHER
I view client relationships as a long-term engagement — built to last for decades. In addition to reviewing the custom financial plan, I encourage each potential client to ask, “Is this advisor someone I would like to bring along on my financial journey?”
