Clients I specialize in: New investors, Planning for college, Nearing retirement

It is my pleasure to serve the financial needs of people in Seattle, Bellevue, Edmonds, and Issaquah. My experience in the financial industry started in 2006 and I became a Wealth Management Advisor in 2009.

I want to make managing your finances as easy as possible for you. As your financial advisor, I will partner with a Wealth Management Banker from our affiliate U.S. Bank to bring you a holistic approach to your wealth management needs. We will collaborate to understand your financial situation and develop personalized strategies to help you work toward your financial goals.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my two small children, 7 & 4 and wife of 15 years. As family we love to travel, try new food, experience new places and cultures but locally spend much of our time at local parks and beaches. As a long-time Seattleite, I cheer for many of our local teams. I'm an avid cyclist and enjoy disconnecting while on the bike, exploring our beautiful city and the many wonderful coffee shops along the way.

Services I specialize in

Gain confidence and bring clarity to your financial life by working with us to craft a personalized plan to help you work towards creating, growing, protecting and sharing your wealth.

Investing in IRAs, rolling over a 401(k), and maximizing income sources like Social Security and annuities are among the strategies we’ll help you consider as you plan for life when you’re no longer working.

Whatever type of investor you are – conservative or more aggressive, experienced or just getting started – a clear investment plan can provide a path forward toward the future you want.

You work hard to provide for yourself and others. We’ll help you create a plan that extends your legacy forward to support the people and causes you care about for generations to come.

FAQ

The role of a financial advisor can go beyond investment planning. An advisor can also provide guidance for key moments throughout your life. Perhaps your finances have gotten more complex, and you’d like help creating or adjusting your wealth plan. You may be worried how market changes are affecting your investments. Or you’re experiencing a major life event, such as:

Getting married or divorced
Having a child
Starting a new career
Receiving an inheritance
Buying a house
Nearing retirement

An advisor can help you objectively assess where you are financially and how to prepare for the future as you work toward your goals.

Your advisor will ask about your goals and priorities – where you’re at today, financially, and where you'd like to go. But the main topic of conversation will be whatever’s on your mind. You can discuss how you and your advisor will work together, what you can expect from your advisor, any costs if you decide to move forward, and next steps. You’ll have plenty of time to ask questions, to help you decide if the relationship is the right fit.

Our guide helps you prepare with key questions to ask and a checklist of what to bring, ensuring you start your advisory relationship with clarity.

No, your initial consultation is free.

We’ll confirm with you what materials, such as recent bank and financial statements, may be helpful for understanding your financial picture. But it’s your choice what to bring. To help you decide – and to ensure you get the most out of the conversation with your advisor – consider the following before the meeting:

What are your most important financial goals?
What concerns you about your finances?
Did you recently experience a major life event?

We’re happy to meet with you virtually or in person. It’s up to you.
