About

After five years in the financial services industry, almost all of that time spent as a registered representative with a FINRA registered broker-dealer, I knew that the only way I could fully serve my clients was to leave the broker-dealer world behind and form my own Registered Investment Advisory firm. In 2010 I took the plunge and set up my own RIA. This paved the way for me to operate strictly in the best interests of my clients, without the conflicts of interest that plague the "selling securities for a commission" world that I had left behind. (I had seen enough of "GDC requirements" and product-pushing branch offices.)

Today, I work with a business partner whose has over 15 years of experience as an independent financial planner. As independent, fee-based financial planners & investment advisors, we offer full-service financial planning services to our clients. Because we are an independent RIA firm, we operate with a fiduciary duty to our clients, placing their interests first in everything that we do. As our slogan says: "Your Needs. Your Goals. Your Values. Better Solutions".

Among the services that we provide to our clients:

• Comprehensive financial planning
• Retirement income planning
• Investment analysis & portfolio management
• Insurance planning & advanced uses of life insurance for wealth management

One of the best things about operating independently is that we have the ability to engage the services of outside experts that allow us to extend our services while ensuring that the high-quality, expert nature of our advice and services in not compromised. To that end, we hire outside experts (including third-party money managers, retirement income distribution specialists, tax professionals, and various product-specific specialists) to serve as our support team.

Together, with my business partner/co-advisor and our outside experts, I am able to offer my clients a truly unique financial planning process.
