Demland Wealth LLC

I specialize in helping Christians with their money so they can focus on glorifying God and enjoying Him forever instead of retiring to a life of ease. I believe that retirement for Christians is different. Retirement income planning, investing, legacy planning, and tax planning are all part of stewarding what God has given us well. I work to help people live, give, and grow with their money by providing financial planning services that aim to maximize retirement income, reduce lifetime taxes, and plan for a life of joyful service to Christ and His church.
