Speciality

With over 25 years in the industry, I specialize in financial and estate planning for individuals and business owners.

I focus heavily on reviewing clients' existing plans and portfolios to ensure proper goal alignment and use of tax mitigation and asset transition strategies for them.

This typically involves reviewing wills POAs and external investment portfolios to ensure beneficiaries are aligned appropriately.
