Hi, I’m Matt. My job as a financial planner is to make your life simpler. To help you efficiently and effectively narrow down your options, so you can make the right decisions. And be confident in those decisions for the long-term. Financial planning and investment management are often muddied by unnecessary complexity (usually in an effort to sell you something). It doesn’t need to be this way. I began my career in the financial services industry in 2003 as an analyst with the due diligence law firm Snyder Kearney, LLC (Columbia, MD). At Snyder Kearney, I reviewed public and private securities offerings and evaluated national securities sponsoring companies, focusing on real estate investments and non-traditional investment products. It was there that I realized that I wanted to know more about the practice of law and a lot more about the pretty co-worker in the cubicle next to me, Sylvie. I earned my law degree in 2007 from the University of Baltimore School of Law and married Sylvie in 2008; further proof that education and personal relationships are the investments that produce the best returns. After law school, I practiced law with the firm David Albert & Associates, LLC (Bethesda, MD), focusing in estate planning and administration, guardianship administration, taxation of estates and trusts, and business formations. There, I recognized that helping clients through complicated and often stressful issues was intellectually stimulating and emotionally fulfilling. In 2010, I opened Patuxent Financial Partners, LLC, registered as an Investment Adviser with the State of Maryland in 2017. Here, I leverage my legal background to provide clients with value-added insight in the overlapping areas of estate and financial planning. More importantly, as a personal financial planner and small business owner, I can build lasting relationships with clients and their families; these connections make my work fulfilling, because client success becomes intertwined with my own. I am a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ practitioner and hold the FINRA Series 65 securities registration. Raised in Columbia, Maryland, I graduated from McDaniel College with a bachelor's degree in English. Outside of the office, I enjoy running, reading, and hiking with my wife, son, and our mutt hound, Kodi.

Hi, I’m Liz and I’m a fee-only financial planner. I started Primas Financial Planning to help individuals make financial decisions they feel good about and be confident that those choices will prepare them for the future. As the first in my family to graduate from college, I had to navigate a lot of firsts out of necessity, not choice. Like most of my clients, I didn’t learn about personal finance in school, and I’ve had to make decisions based on the information that was available to me. I’ve been fortunate to have accumulated knowledge through various sources. Some of my financial planning knowledge comes from school and work but a lot of lessons were learned from friends, family, my military community, and by making many, many mistakes. I recognize that not everyone is fortunate enough to have this wealth of knowledge at their fingertips and my goal with Primas FP is to help others have the same financial security and peace of mind. I’m a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™, Chartered Financial Consultant, Accredited Financial Counselor and Enrolled Agent. I’ve been working with clients for over 16 years helping them achieve their goals and build their wealth. First and foremost, I’m a fiduciary which means I’ll always put your interests first. I’ve lived in 9 states and 4 countries and I’ll be joining you virtually from Maryland, but I work with clients all over the United States. When I’m not listening to financial planning podcasts and delighting my husband and daughters with tax lectures, you can find me hiking, kickboxing, trying not kill the plants in my garden and volunteering in my community. I'm looking forward to hearing your life's story. Let's meet!

After earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Finance from Towson University, I continued my education, earning a Master of Science in Personal Financial Planning from the College for Financial Planning. Beyond my formal education, I went on to become a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional, a CERTIFIED PRIVATE WEALTH ADVISOR™ professional, and additionally earned my AIF®, APMA®, CRPC®, and MPAS® designations.

Mike focuses his energy into helping clients navigate all of their financial needs. His experience includes a stint on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, a career focused on investments at Brown Advisory and insurance at Securian Financial. During these experiences, he learned that a balanced approach and strategic financial planning is what can help clients achieve their goals. When not talking to clients or researching the next great opportunity for them, Mike & his wife enjoy quiet city living and relaxing whenever their new daughter allows. He loves playing soccer, lacrosse, golf, basketball… and really any sport. When he’s not meeting friends or family at the movies or the local watering hole, you can normally find him reading something very nerdy, like science fiction or financial science.

I get it. Finding a Financial Planner that is a good match for you is not easy. The alphabet soup of credentials and terms can be confusing. I will take as long as you like to talk through all your questions. We serve individuals and families (Baby Boomers, Gen X, Gen Y/Millenials, and Gen Z), entrepreneurs, self-employed individuals, ultra high net-worth families, trusts, intergenerational families, baby boomers, entertainment industry professionals, startup founders, business owners, and small businesses. We help our clients with holistic financial planning including: retirement planning, investment planning & management, business planning, wealth management, new wealth planning, income planning, estate planning, charitable giving, portfolio management, home buying, cross-border planning, and tax planning. I have been fortunate to have served families and individuals from Alaska and California to Texas and Massachusetts and all over Virginia, Maryland, and DC (13 states so far) while based in Fairfax, VA. Why? Because we have everything needed to be your guide in a changing landscape. Like most established firms, at Your Best Path, we offer comprehensive financial planning, retirement planning, investment management, and more to help our clients build the life they really want. However, there are a few aspects of our practice that differ from the great majority of planners. – My mission is to help people align their values and their investments so they can stop supporting the companies that are destroying the systems that make life on Earth possible. I am a leader in sustainable, responsible, and impact investing (SRI), having received the CSRIC designation – the first-ever certification for studying investing while considering environmental, social, and governance factors. If you want it to, your portfolio can reflect your specific values, not just a cookie-cutter index from fund managers who don’t even vote their shares. – We have extensive experience working with tech professionals, managers, and executives with equity compensation (RSUs, Options, ESOPPs, and deferred comp.) – We also have expertise developed over years of working with clients from many branches of the Federal Government, so I understand the intricacies of their various benefit programs. –I have no asset minimum and am happy to work with those with less, but am ready to serve those with substantial wealth.
