Backed by a team of experienced professionals, which may include financial planners, notaries, lawyers and tax experts, I'll do more than a basic review with you — I'll consider every aspect of your financial security, including:

  • Establishing a personal budget
  • Reviewing your investments
  • Evaluating any insurance needs
  • Determining if you can reduce your taxes
  • Planning your retirement
  • Understanding your estate wishes, and any legal matters

After this process, I'm certain you'll have a clear picture of your finances, perhaps discovering opportunities you never thought were available to you.

 

My professional practice is characterized by the values I hold dear:

  • Integrity and loyalty
  • Availability and independence
  • Professionalism and skill
  • Exceptional service

I bring these values to every relationship in my practice.

Research has shown that there's real value in financial advice and that it provides an undeniable advantage to investors.

  • Households that have had an advisor for 15 years or more accumulate 290% more in assets (3.9 times more) than households that haven't1.
  • Households that have an advisor have 2.1 times more financial assets than households that don't2.
  • Investors that have an advisor are more confident and more likely to have a comfortable retirement if they've received financial advice for at least 10 years3.
  • Advisors can help investors manage their emotions, which can add approximately 1.5% to portfolio returns4.
