My mission is to expand access to financial planning and sophisticated investment strategies, especially to young professionals, pre-retirement savers, and clients with illiquid wealth who don't meet the investment minimums some advisors require. What differentiates me? Virtual appointment options. Evening and weekend meeting availability. No investment minimums. Transparent fees and flexible services. And you'll receive substantial direct time with me, your dedicated, credentialed advisor. In addition, I specialize in helping clients make a positive impact or reflect their values with their investment portfolios if they wish to do so.
Previously, I worked for a large investment advisor in the San Francisco Bay Area. In my role there, I served under their team of wealth managers and also managed their professional investment research service, where I helped financial advisors across the country build portfolios for their clients. During that time, I saw how rewarding it could be to help others achieve their financial goals. I founded my own practice to use my financial planning knowledge to be even more directly impactful on people's lives. There is so much financial complexity in today's world but also so much misinformation. I want to be my clients' trusted source for financial advice and guidance.
In my spare time, I enjoy life with my beautiful wife and young daughter, playing guitar, and traveling the world. During my school days, I lived in France for a bit. But as a family, we now love to visit the Pacific Northwest given my wife’s fascination with killer whales. My firm is based in Folsom, CA, and I call the Gold Country my home. I love being close to the vineyards and lovely vistas of the Sierra Foothills.
