About

The firm provides fee-only financial planning and discretionary investment management to individuals, including high‑net‑worth clients, through both ongoing and project‑based engagements. It also facilitates referrals to unaffiliated third‑party professionals and may recommend outside managers to implement client strategies.

Its investment approach combines Modern Portfolio Theory with cyclical (technical) analysis and a mix of passive and active vehicles to construct asset‑allocation targets tailored to each client’s risk tolerance and goals. The adviser typically manages accounts on a discretionary basis, conducts quarterly reviews, and uses an independent custodian platform for trade execution and reporting.

Balanced Life Planning is notable for its very small client roster—two clients with roughly $8.86 million in assets under management—indicating a concentration on higher‑net‑worth relationships rather than broad retail households, despite stating no account minimum. The firm also trades client accounts individually rather than aggregating block trades and relies on custodian statements for performance and holdings reports, practices that differ from many peers.

Balanced Life Planning

About the Firm Balance Life Planning was created to help mid-career individuals and families find balance between the financial and lifestyle needs of today, tomorrow, and legacy. Our approach combines the core tenets of financial planning: Investment Strategy Tax Planning Cash Flow/ Retirement Planning Insurance Analysis Estate Planning Furthermore, we offer planning catered to families that have more complex compensation such as stock options, RSUs, Employee Stock Purchase Plans (ESPP), etc. We utilize the latest technology available to deliver a seamless client experience that includes a planning portal, secure vault for planning documents, tax planning tools, and more. About Me I was born and raised in Canton, OH and relocated to the Cincinnati area to attend Xavier University. During that time, I met my wife Erica, and we settled in Villa Hills, KY. We have three beautiful daughters: Molly, Taylor, and Charlotte. We enjoy traveling, various sports, and dogs (we have three dogs Rev, Louis, and Teller). I started in the Financial Services industry at a large investment firm in 2011. During my nearly 10 years there, I worked my way from customer service, through various trading positions, to a book of clients of over 900 high-net worth households that I assisted with planning and investing. In February 2015, I earned my CFP® marks (CERTFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™). In September 2020, I decided it was time for a change that offered a better life balance and client experience. I joined a smaller firm in Blue Ash, OH, as a Senior Advisor. During that time, I gained valuable experience working through complex planning scenarios with high-net worth clients, managing day to day operations of the firm, and was closely connected to a first-class CPA firm. Of the thousands of clients I've had the privilege to serve, several carried ranging degrees of regret around their financial planning path. Most of which sounded like: "if I knew then what I knew now, I would have...". I have designed Balanced Life Planning to meet clients and families where they are earlier in life to create better financial outcomes.
