“

Building wealth and helping others with personal finance is my passion. We supply our clients with the tools and strategies to build life-long and generational wealth.

A sound financial plan and investments can change the course of a person’s life. I want to improve the financial lives of as many people as possible and enable them to live the lives that they choose. During my last year of college, I began my career in finance as a retiree health insurance agent at my grandfather’s insurance agency where I served around 500 clients of my own.

Three years later, I opened a full-service insurance agency specializing in retiree health insurance along with a full suite of personal and commercial lines for individuals, families, and businesses. Even then, my passion had always been personal finance and investing. I was an ardent saver since I began my career and I became obsessed with learning how to put money to work early on. After three years of owning and operating an insurance agency, and seven years in the financial industry, I decided that it was time to pursue my dream of becoming a financial advisor. 

As a Registered Investment Advisor, I am dedicated to helping you achieve your financial and lifestyle goals through tactical financial planning and investment management. Let’s talk today to discuss your financial planning needs.

Transparent Pricing for Straightforward Solutions


No matter how much money you have sitting in the bank, we believe everyone should have the right to receive sound financial advice. That’s why we’ve developed a fee structure designed to be transparent, fair and accessible to our clients.

Our Investment Management Fees


In order to make ourselves available to you and your financial needs on an ongoing basis, we offer our asset management services using a flat fee percentage. We charge 1 percent of the assets held under our management.

Our Financial Planning Fees*


In an effort to accommodate and address your specific financial concerns, we offer our financial planning services at an hourly rate based on the type of planning you prefer.


Comprehensive Planning


For those looking to address every aspect of their financial life, we can work together to develop a comprehensive financial plan. From buying a home to addressing your income needs in retirement, we’ll work from the ground up to provide strategic solutions to achieve your short- and long-term goals.

$1,500 TO $2,500, VARIES BY COMPLEXITY

Quick-Start Planning


Maybe you’ve just started to think about optimizing your financial future, but you aren’t ready to develop a comprehensive financial plan. With our quick-start option, we’ll cover the basics and address the top concerns you're currently facing.

$750 to $1,500, VARIES BY COMPLEXITY



Project-Based Planning


Have a specific area of financial concern in mind, or simply just want a second opinion? We’re happy to offer project-based planning. This allows us to take a few hours together to address what’s on your mind without committing to a full, comprehensive plan.
