As a financial professional with 18 years of experience - including managing multi-billion dollar budgets and financial plans for a private company—I understand the frustration of feeling lost in retirement planning.
My path began with my own struggle. Like many people, I was diligently saving but had no concrete plan for turning those savings into reliable income. Fed up with generic calculators and lack of personalized guidance, I decided to take matters into my own hands and learn comprehensive retirement strategies.
Now I help others take charge of their own retirements and I focus on protecting and growing wealth while ensuring clients never run out of income during retirement. Using my personalized process and proprietary Income Forecaster tool, I provide clarity that transforms financial anxiety into confidence.
Rather than relying on traditional "ride the market" approaches, I help clients create guaranteed income streams, minimize taxes, and protect wealth from market volatility. I show exactly how their money will work for them, creating a clear roadmap to retirement security.
My mission centers on three core principles:
- Solving real problems with practical solutions
- Creating personalized strategies tailored to each unique situation
- Providing peace of mind to truly enjoy retirement
My background in managing billion-dollar budgets has equipped me with skills to tackle both big-picture goals and intricate planning details. I believe your story is unique—so is my approach to your financial future.
If you're seeking more than generic advice, I'm here to help build a retirement plan that truly works for you.
