MY WHY
Why I Became a Financial Advisor
I began my career as a commodities trader, and while it afforded me the opportunity to be an entrepreneur and the sky was the limit in terms of achievement, intrinsic gratification was missing.
When I transitioned to financial planning, I realized how easy it was to make mistakes when emotions become tangled with money. That’s where I come in — to remove the emotion so clients can make better decisions.
Knowing I play a small role in partnering with clients on college savings goals and retirement goals, as well as “having fun” goals, feels very rewarding.
“The important thing to remember is that if you want help, it’s not because someone is smarter than you, but because that person isn’t you.”
— CARL RICHARDS
THE ONE-PAGE FINANCIAL PLAN
1
DESTRESS
Acting as an additional set of eyes and ears on financial decisions, I can help to alleviate the stress that financial decisions evoke.
2
REFOCUS
Sharing the gravitas of making complicated financial choices, you can concentrate on what you love, not what causes you stress.
3
SAVOR
Knowing serious financial questions have been answered, you can enjoy more freedom to spend time with your family, advance your career and pursue your hobbies.
