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.

I am an independent 'Fee-Only' financial planner and advisor. I am a fiduciary focused on giving objective, holistic, and comprehensive financial advice. I also work with individuals helping to navigate whatever stage of life you are in, from building wealth all the way to preserving what you’ve already worked hard to build. My background is in finance and financial planning. After receiving my Bachelor of Science degree from Sacramento State's Financial Planning program, I continued to advance my financial planning and advisory experience and knowledge by obtaining various credentials, including the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® marks, also known as the CFP® marks. This noteworthy designation is generally considered to be the 'Gold Standard' in financial planning. With my prior firm, I was responsible for creating many of the most complex financial plans. Additionally, I was on the firm's Investment Committee, playing a role in the direction of the various portfolio allocations and recommendations that were used for clients. I also provide outsourced financial planning services for other advisors through Foundation Financial Planning. In doing this work, I continue to improve and hone my planning skills by gaining valuable insight into how financial plans are done with a firm that specializes in doing plans for all sorts of advisors. I currently reside in Tucson Arizona, with my wife and young growing family. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, exploring the outdoors, BBQing, and tinkering with things around the house.
