Throughout a noteworthy career in the financial services industry that spans more than 30 years, Lisa has established herself as a knowledgeable guide for family offices, multigenerational families, and high-net-worth clients. Getting to the heart of what clients find meaningful is her passion. She works tirelessly to facilitate the often-challenging family conversations around inheritance, estate planning and financial education, striving for a deeper level of harmony and clarity. In support of this purpose, she co-authored a children’s book, “Treasures in the Winter Vault,” to help teach kids about money, doing the right thing and giving back.

Lisa discovered early on in her career that the greatest gift she could give to her friends, family, community, and clients is teaching and preparing their heirs to be the best stewards of wealth as possible. Education has been an important piece of the conversations proactively speaking to children and grandchildren of those she interacts with. As part of these efforts, she hosts Financial Literacy events including Rock Concerts, Read Across America celebrating Dr. Seuss’s birthday and has created a “Money Smarts” financial literacy series providing webinars, videos, in person and interactive programs. Her sincere hope is she accomplishes her dream of helping the children in our communities to manage money and their future like the patriarch and matriarch that created the wealth and bring attention and awareness to financial literacy endeavors.

This includes personal financial planning and cash flow modeling, investment management, insurance planning, estate and gift planning, philanthropy, tax planning, risk management services, family governance and family office services.
