Navigating retirement is one of life's biggest transitions, which is why you shouldn't face it alone. I founded Slalom Wealth in 2018 to help people like you overcome the unknowns of retirement and achieve the clarity, confidence, and support you deserve. I wanted to apply my 20+ years of financial experience to build an independent, fee-only firm that puts relationships first and guides clients through the challenges of retirement. As your financial partner, nothing is off the table. I want to be your first call when you're facing a tough question or new opportunity. As a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ and a Chartered Financial Analyst® (CFA®), I have a deep commitment to the technical side of finances. But I also have a passion for helping you simplify the complex, answer the right questions, and understand your options so that you can fully enjoy retirement. I proudly live and work as a fiduciary financial advisor in Sacramento, California alongside my wife, Barbara. When I’m not working, you’ll probably find me: Riding my Peloton bike or boating on the Sacramento River Watching a Formula One race (I travel each year to watch one live!)

I am a fee-only, independent and fiduciary advisor providing wealth management services tailored for professionals building equity in their business, personal investments and employer stock. I started Olivehurst Advisors to be an aligned partner you can trust for personalized advice that supports your priorities, goals and values. I began my career as a corporate professional on Wall Street and later transitioned to running my own business while also starting a family. I learned to manage my finances on my own through planning and foresight – but also in hindsight by learning from mistakes. What I missed on my journey was having a financial advisor who was a partner to help me plan strategically. While I did have a few people to ask specific questions, often, I didn’t know the right questions to ask. This is why I started Olivehurst Advisors – to share what I’ve learned and be the partner I wish I had on my own journey. I've discovered the importance of my goals has grown over time. Yet, with increasing responsibilities, the demands on my time have grown just as much, if not more. Given many goals have a financial component, this prospect of decreasing time available to tackle increasingly valuable goals is a key reason why I believe there may not be a more impactful role that I can play than to help someone navigate their personal financial journey. So, I’m excited to partner with you to help you pursue your goals and feel more confident, secure and supported in your financial decisions.
