My Mission

As an advisor, I sit on the same side of the table and align strategies to facilitate the most important goals of my clients.  Money is not about the material things but rather money buys freedom, independence and choices.  Whether the goals are short (buying a house, etc.), funding children’s education or long-term retirement strategies of not just where/how to accumulate (asset allocation + asset location) but also proper distribution of monies in any economic environment while being tax efficient…I seek to listen, understand and be a partner towards those goals.
