Biography
I enjoy helping clients reach their financial goals. Financial planning is an ongoing process, and it's fun for me to watch my clients determine what their goals are, make progress, and ultimately reach the goals — and then create new ones! Outside of work, I love spending time with my wife, son, and daughter.

Disclosures are events reported to regulators, such as customer disputes, regulatory actions, employment separations, or financial events. Some are resolved, denied, or contested — a disclosure is not a verdict. We recommend asking an advisor directly about any disclosure on their record.
Disclosures on record.
Disclosures can be potential red flags, including customer disputes, regulatory fines, employer terminations, bankruptcies, judgments, liens, or certain criminal activities. Check for any disclosures as part of your thorough research when choosing an advisor.
