Industry experience
20 years
I began my career as grain trader gaining valuable experience with the futures market. I spent time as a brokerage specialist with New York Life providing me with a background in Life, Disability and Health Insurance. I then became a commercial loan officer at First Interstate Bank (now Wells Fargo). Before I moved to Vanguard, I worked with my father in a family business. After successfully transitioning him to retirement, I merged and then sold the business allowing me to pursue my passion which was to become a Certified Financial Planner, a CFP®.
To accomplish this goal, I began with The Vanguard Group in their brokerage area as an equity specialist in 2006. I then successfully secured my CFP® designation getting my marks in the spring of 2009 which coincided with my promotion to the Fixed Income area. Another promotion to become a Senior Fixed Income Specialist followed allowing me to gain valuable experience with more complex bonds. When Vanguard began Personal Advisor Services in 2015, I moved into that area and assumed a role as a Financial Advisor. After a decade as a Senior Financial Advisor for Vanguard, I made the move to Luminvest Wealth Management as a Wealth Advisor.
As a boutique with a limited number of clients, Luminvest allows me to be truly present for my clients. Further, I am empowered to be a Fiduciary on my client's behalf with low fees and full transparency. We specialize in building tax efficient, low-expense portfolios. In addition, I am very experienced in withdrawal strategies for my clients. With cutting-edge and dynamic financial planning tools, we can guide our clients forward amidst the ongoing uncertainty and volatility inherent with today's financial markets.
Having been through the Great Financial Crisis, the Covid Crash, and the inflationary spiral of 2022, I stand with my clients as a calm and experienced professional partner allowing you to focus on your life while I focus on your finances.

We'll help you think it through – whether you ultimately need an advisor or not.
Warmer provides personalized recommendations and introductions to independent fiduciary advisors. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
Each advisor listed on our site is an independent fiduciary responsible for their own advice. Warmer may receive fees from advisors for participation or referrals; these fees are paid by advisors and do not affect the fees clients pay for advisory services.
For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Please review an advisor's Form ADV and do your own diligence before entering into an advisory relationship.
