I help busy parents get organized and feel confident with careful, smart, and custom advice so that you can enjoy life now and grow your money for the future. I work closely with only a small number of clients to provide year-round financial planning and wealth management. Together, we define your goals and implement a plan to reach them successfully. I am not like any other advisor: ☑️ I focus on you: your time, energy, dreams, and goals. Not your portfolio. ☑️ I work with parents with kids still at home, so I understand your situation. ☑️ I only work with a small number of clients, so that I am available for email and phone calls when something comes up and you need me. ☑️ I monitor your financial plan, your net worth, savings goals, tax planning opportunities and more, to ensure that you stay on track throughout the year. ☑️ I provide year-round financial planning, sending you updates on your plan and important action items just when you need them. ☑️ I do not charge based on your net worth, or assets invested with me and have no minimums fees. 100% of my income comes from my clients, so whom do you think I work for? By creating important habits, setting the correct path, and giving year-round support, together we ensure your successful financial future. Schedule a friendly conversation to feel the difference today. When I’m not helping people achieve their wildest dreams, I love chatting about technology, start-ups, finances, markets, running, spiritual well-being, and many other topics. Gaining and sharing knowledge with friends brings me endless joy.

My clients are young families and professionals in their 30s-40s who have hit a wall when it comes to managing their finances. They have busy personal schedules, growing careers, and recently introduced financial complexity that’s too much to manage. Questions my clients have include: - How do I prioritize multiple financial goals? - I have some cash saved, but what should I do with it? - I don't understand my taxes, is there more I should be doing? - Should I be saving for my children’s education? - Will I be able to retire on time, and live comfortably once I get there? - I’m self-employed, how should I be planning for my future? - How should I handle my equity compensation? - Do I have enough insurance to protect my loved ones? - How does having a baby impact my financial situation?
