At Pier 42 Advisors, we understand that successful wealth planning is about more than just plugging numbers into a formula and generating a generic plan. Instead, it’s about taking the time to understand your specific needs and the “why” behind your motivations. Our goal is to serve as your trusted partner by working alongside you to incorporate your values, emotions, concerns and motivations into a tailored financial plan to guide your actions. By focusing primarily on building relationships, trust and understanding, we are better able to help you achieve your version of financial success, whatever that may be.

I grew up watching my parents pour everything they had into building small businesses from the ground up. Their work ethic was unmatched. But despite all their success, true financial security always seemed just out of reach. The missing piece? A cohesive plan to tie it all together. That stuck with me. It’s why I chose this path - to help people like my parents turn years of hard work into lasting peace of mind. It’s work that’s deeply meaningful to me, and one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I partner with clients to turn complex financial questions into clear, actionable strategies—especially around retirement timing, income planning, and tax efficiency. The goal isn’t just to create a plan, but to help you make confident decisions at every stage of life. Whether you are mid-career, nearing retirement, or just looking for a clearer path forward, I offer calm, objective guidance to help you move ahead with confidence. I especially enjoy working with Gen X professionals who are feeling the pressure of catching up—and are ready to take action. If you’re motivated to close the gap and build a secure, flexible future, we’re probably a strong fit.
