As a financial planner, I am truly passionate about guiding families to make smart financial choices today that will create your legacy later on. I am here to support you and your family as you achieve the financial freedom you desire—so you can live out your dreams without stressing over your finances. Before founding Legacy Financial Designs, I gained six years of specialized experience working with families in the wealth accumulation phase of life. I am a graduate of the Texas A&M Financial Planning program. Outside of the office, I can be found woodworking, cheering on Aggie Athletics, attending the Woodlands United Methodist Church, working out, taking road trips, or on a beach.

My journey in Financial Services began 27 years ago when I graduated from Baylor University. I studied Economics and Quantitative Business Analysis and knew I wanted to work in Financial Services. That led to my first Financial Advisor role with American Express Financial Advisors (now Ameriprise). Over the years I have held numerous positions at different Investment and Advisory firms. I've had the opportunity to learn from some of the best advisors in the industry. Over that time, I formed my core investment beliefs, and I am now thrilled to incorporate them into SF Planning Group LLC. I believe that everyone should have a personalized and sound financial plan. Your plan should be custom, straightforward and stress free. I aim to provide my clients with a financial and investment plan that enables them to live a stress-free financial life and focus on what matters most to them.
