See the full picture before you decide

Nearly 100,000 registered financial advisors have customer disputes, bankruptcies, criminal activity, and more on their records. In 2023, about 60 red flags were recorded daily. That's why it's crucial to check if your advisor has any red flags and decide whether you're comfortable with them.

ADVISOR PERSONAL BIO

I jumped at the opportunity to become the first financial planner hired at Motley Fool Wealth Management, a financial planning and investment management firm located in Alexandria, Virginia. I wanted to build teams and new products to help each person worry a little bit less about financial stressors they experience, and I think we are just getting started. I love working with any situation. If you are a military family with CSRS, a Federal employee with FERS, a widower, a 50-year-old couple planning to retire, a 94 year old looking to implement a new estate plan, or a young professional trying to figure out how to pay down student debt, reach out to me. My ten+ years in this industry has prepared me to help all walks of life through web conferences, phone calls, and in-person meetings.
