EXPLOREMY WHY
Why I Became a Financial Advisor
I’ve always been a numbers guy, but my motivation comes from my desire to help people. My father passed away when I was young, and my mom became the sole decision maker for the family. She did a great job of handling everything on her own, but I imagine if she had a fiduciary to help relieve some of the pressure during that time, it would have helped her tremendously. Therefore, I like to think I can make a similar impact to help clients alleviate the additional pressure and worries that they don’t need to carry with them.
MY FOCUS
I Am in Your Corner
With how quickly circumstances can change, life can become overwhelming at any given moment, especially when finances are involved. Having someone in your corner to be with you through the ups and downs of life is important not only from a financial guidance perspective but also for a sense of comfort. I’ve been able to see the positive impact with numerous clients when it comes to being there for them when they need it most through unexpected job changes, retirement, death of a loved one or birth of a child.
When life becomes hectic, emotions tend to run high as one would expect. In my role as a financial advisor, I am there to take the emotion out of decision-making. As with any life change, people want to know they are not alone, and I take pride in being there for them along the way to provide comfort and reassurance.
