Personalized planning for your financial goals

Your financial goals, aspirations and investment needs are just that – yours. And your financial plan should reflect that. So rather than ask you to settle for an off-the-shelf investment program, I’m here to provide you with personalized financial planning based on your most cherished goals. As your advisor, my job is to explain the process and answer any questions or concerns, in plain English, so you can feel confident and informed about your future.

Your financial goals, aspirations and investment needs are just that – yours. And your financial plan should reflect that. So rather than ask you to settle for an off-the-shelf investment program, we’re here to provide you with personalized financial planning based on your goals, your time frame and your particular tolerance for risk.

We can help provide you with just the right combination of financial services, support and guidance that make the most sense for you. We’ll also be there to help you each step of the way in the pursuit of your personal financial goals.

Comprehensive Planning

There’s more to your financial life than just investments. Comprehensive planning encompasses an in-depth review and analysis of all aspects of your financial life – to help you see the big picture and enable us to personalize a plan for addressing every detail.

Retirement Planning

We understand that there should be no compromise when it comes to your financial future. That’s why we work diligently to serve as the ultimate steward for your wealth, simplifying life’s complexities with a full spectrum of strategies for a tailored plan that we believe is the only one you’ll ever need.

Financial Planning

Whether planning to build a home by the lake or help your daughter launch a business, you need a well-conceived plan in order to succeed. Pursuing financial independence is no different. Whether you’re looking to grow your money over time, generate income in retirement or preserve wealth for future generations, confidence in your financial plan comes with knowing your assets are invested well.

Longevity Planning

Many of today's retirees can expect to spend 30 years or more enjoying the fruits of their labor. That's why it's increasingly important not simply to plan for retirement, but to plan for longevity in retirement - all of the years it might last, all of the ways your life will change and all of the events you can't foresee.

The Forbes Top Wealth Advisors Best-in-State 2025 ranking, developed by SHOOK Research, is based on an algorithm of qualitative criteria, mostly gained through telephone and in-person due diligence interviews, and quantitative data. This ranking is based upon the period from 6/30/2023 to 6/30/2024 and was released on 4/8/2025. Those advisors that are considered have a minimum of seven years of experience, and the algorithm weighs factors like revenue trends, assets under management, compliance records, industry experience and those that encompass best practices in their practices and approach to working with clients. Portfolio performance is not a criteria due to varying client objectives and lack of audited data. Out of approximately 48,944 nominations, roughly 9,722 advisors received the award. This ranking is not indicative of an advisor's future performance, is not an endorsement, and may not be representative of individual clients' experience. Neither Raymond James nor any of its Financial Advisors or RIA firms pay a fee in exchange for this award/rating. Compensation provided for using the rating.
