Biography


For more than a decade, I’ve been a financial planner working with a wide range of clients to help them navigate the unique challenges and opportunities that life throws their way. By helping them create a smart plan, they can work toward the rewarding future they hope to achieve. When I’m not at work, I’m running after my three kids, woodworking or exploring the coast.
