About LPL Financial

LPL Financial is the largest independent brokerage firm in the United States. If you are looking for a financial advisor that listens, puts your interests first, and provides advice and solutions custom tailored to your needs, then you’ve come to the right place. In today’s world, working with an investment professional is more important than ever. One of the most important decisions you can make is to seek the advice of a trusted, qualified advisor. I believe no two individuals are the same. There are no “cookie cutters” in my practice. Everyone has a unique set of needs and life goals and therefore requires custom advice, investments, and planning tailored to your circumstances. I also understand that the desire not to lose one’s nest egg and not outliving your resources is as important as the desire to grow one’s investments – Whether you are looking to grow or preserve, or a combination of both, I can help.
