Biography


WHY SHOULD I CONSIDER HIRING MODERN WEALTH BUILDERS? Great question! But first, let me explain why you shouldn’t hire us. If you’re looking for an advisor who will try to “beat the market” and pick “the best” stocks, you’re in the wrong place. Why? Because we focus on the things that are in our control. Predicting where the stock market is headed, especially in the short term, is not something we can control. However, if you’re interested in things like investing smartly to solidify your financial future, lowering your tax bill, and maintaining a spending plan, you’re in the right place. You can learn more about our financial planning strategy and investment philosophy here.
