Biography


I've been in the financial services industry for 15 years. I utilize a 3 step-process. The first step is to determine where my clients are at financially, where they would like to go and what's important to them. We then work together to create a plan to help them reach their various goals using suitable methods and strategies. The final step is to implement the plan and ensure, on an ongoing basis, that they're on the right track to reach their goals.
