VALUE STATEMENT
Understanding what is most important to my clients so we can create a personal investment plan designed to help you accomplish your financial goals. Then I partner throughout your lifetime to monitor the plan and keep you on track.

APPROACH TO WEALTH MANAGEMENT
I conduct my advisory practice by providing every client with a clear and actionable financial road map built with the Envision retirement planning tool. Envision allows me to show clients their current financial health and demonstrates how they are progressing toward their desired retirement lifestyle. An Envision plan also provides clients with a clear understanding of their total assets, how much investment risk they can take, how much they can spend in retirement and how much will be left for beneficiaries.

INVESTMENT PHILOSOPHY
My philosophy is simple – own quality, be diversified, have a plan, stick to that plan and systematically invest.
