I'm passionate about helping families navigate the complex world of comprehensive financial planning.
It truly pains me to see families and business owners wrestle with the overwhelming task of juggling multiple financial goals. I’ve witnessed the heartache of families torn between saving for retirement and funding their children's education. My passion is to help you find that delicate balance—so you don’t have to choose between your dreams.
By navigating the complexities of taxes, market fluctuations, and other financial risks, I stand by families and business owners, helping them secure a comfortable retirement and build their wealth, even when the world feels uncertain. I build comprehensive plans designed to safeguard your income, protect your assets from tax and market risk, and create a legacy for future generations.
While many financial advisors focus on traditional investment management and one-size-fits-all accumulation strategies, few truly understand how to transform your savings into a holistic plan. I craft strategies that account for life’s twists and turns—whether you’re saving for college, selling a successful business, preparing for retirement, planning for long-term care, or transferring wealth to loved ones.
I take immense pride in creating personalized plans tailored to each unique situation, as no two are ever alike. My commitment extends beyond just research; I dedicate the time to thoroughly educate my clients, guiding them through their options. Together, we make informed decisions to create a plan that helps bring peace of mind.
Though based in California, I work with clients nationwide. I enjoy connecting with clients face-to-face virtually, where I visually guide you through concepts and solutions—making them easier to grasp. My aim is to simplify complex ideas into practical, understandable strategies for your retirement planning. I'm here to demystify the process and answer your questions.
After graduating from Denison University in 1987, I honed my skills in merchant and investment banking in London, then spent 18 years in Taiwan. For over 20 years, I've been dedicated to helping clients prepare financially for college, business growth and succession, and retirement. I live in Thousand Oaks, California, with my wife and two children. In my free time, I love traveling, music, reading, surfing, and exploring the outdoors with our four lively cattle dogs.
If you're seeking guidance on financial and retirement planning to minimize taxes and risks, I'm here to help you achieve your goals. I look forward to connecting with you.
