I help pre-retirees and early retirees who need assistance making their money last in order to secure the retirement lifestyle they envision. By using a combination of comprehensive financial planning and investment management services I help my clients think through difficult financial tradeoffs and come up with solutions that provide peace of mind. If you are looking for someone you can trust to explain complicated financial issues in a clear way and want to delegate your investment program to a financial advisor, you’ve come to the right place. ★ WHAT MAKES ME DIFFERENT I was previously an art director at Money Magazine and Mutual Funds Magazine where I worked for nearly 12 years helping readers better understand personal finance topics. I am adept at making complex financial issues easy to understand, love solving problems, and skilled at keeping people on task to accomplish their goals. As a career changer and father of two teenage boys, I know what it takes to care for a family while simultaneously working toward achieving personal goals. I truly enjoy collaborating with my clients and helping them transition into their vision of a successful retirement. ★ SPECIALTIES • Retirement Planning • Portfolio Management • Approaching Retirement • Late-Career • Retirement Income Planning • Asset Allocation Strategies • Fund Selection • Ongoing investment monitoring • Life Transitions • Sudden Money Situations • Dealing with the loss of a spouse • Dealing with an Inheritance • Dealing with Stock Options • Help with 401(k) and IRAs • College Education Planning • Cash Flow Planning • Coordination with other professionals

Financial planning isn’t just about accumulating wealth — it’s about making thoughtful decisions with your money so it supports the life you want to live. As a fee-only financial planner, I work with individuals and families who want clarity and confidence around their financial decisions. My role is to help organize the many moving parts of your financial life and guide you through important choices about saving, investing, taxes, retirement, and major life transitions. Many people feel overwhelmed by financial complexity. My goal is to simplify those decisions and help you move forward with a clear plan. Financial planning is not a one-time event — it’s an ongoing process. As your life evolves, your financial strategy should evolve with it. A Planning Philosophy Focused on “Return on Life” I believe financial planning should help people maximize their Return on Life, not just their investment returns. Money is a tool that should support meaningful experiences, opportunities, and the things that matter most to you. My approach focuses on helping clients: • Align financial decisions with their personal values • Build financial security and independence • Spend intentionally on experiences and priorities • Navigate life transitions with clarity and confidence The goal is to help you feel confident that your financial life is supporting a life that is both meaningful and sustainable. How I Help Clients My work focuses on comprehensive financial planning, which may include: • Retirement planning and income strategies • Investment planning and portfolio guidance • Tax-aware financial strategies • Insurance and risk management • Cash flow and savings planning • Guidance through major financial decisions Rather than focusing on individual financial products, my role is to help you see how all the pieces of your financial life fit together. What It’s Like to Work Together Financial planning works best as an ongoing partnership. As your advisor, I aim to serve as a thoughtful guide and sounding board as questions arise and decisions need to be made. My goal is to help you stay organized, informed, and confident as your financial life evolves. A Fee-Only Fiduciary Approach As a fee-only financial advisor, I do not receive commissions from financial products. My advice is independent and designed to support my clients’ goals and best interests. The focus of my work is building long-term relationships centered on clarity, education, and thoughtful
