We help you gain power over your money through a multi-stage financial planning process. The goal is to get to know you very, very well to create a customized plan that fits what you and your family need, not what some high-budget advertising campaign is designed to sell you. Our goal is to become your trusted partner to help you understand what you have, as well as what you may need to move you closer to your financial goals. Our independent structure allows us to work with your current advisor team, or to introduce you to other professionals who may be able to help you -such as legal or tax advisors. We want to work with people who value professional advice and want an independent, professional advisor to help them make informed decisions about their money. If that describes you, we'd like to meet you to see if we can partner with you.

Areas of Expertise Here are my areas of expertise, which I will use to provide you with customized recommendations that will help you plan for your financial future. Financial Planning Long-term financial security doesn't happen by chance. Many things in life can have an impact - positive or negative - on your financial well-being. I'm here to help you take control of your future. Together we'll identify your most important goals and dreams, and build and implement a financial plan to help you achieve them. And because life is unpredictable, we'll monitor your progress on a regular basis to ensure your plan evolves as your needs and the situation around you changes. Retirement Planning Perhaps one of the greatest financial challenges you will face in your lifetime is preparing adequately for your retirement. I will help you create a plan that will assess your current financial situation, determine the retirement lifestyle for your future, review the many options available, and put solutions in place to help ensure you achieve the retirement of your dreams. Investment Strategies Without a coordinated investment strategy, it can be difficult to build an effective investment portfolio that helps meet your financial needs. As a Registered Representative of Northwestern Mutual Investment Services, LLC (NMIS), I can offer you access to a wide range of investment products and services.
