Biography

After starting my career working for two of the largest brokerages in the industry, I can more adequately support clients' needs without them having to endure paying such high fees. These brokerages encourage their "advisors" to operate like salesmen, clients are not getting an advisor like they hoped for. They are placed into a cookie-cutter strategy just like every other client of that particular advisor - I provide a more personalized approach when helping each client.
