“Helping people make sound
financial decisions”




My Qualifications

I am a CFP® professional. The CFP® designation is used by a select group of professionals who have completed financial planning coursework, passed a certification exam and met rigorous experience and ethical requirements. Since 2001, I’ve been helping individuals and couples make sound financial decisions one hour at a time. My business is founded on the belief that good financial planning does not have to be confusing, complex or scary. I came to this belief after consulting for 25 years with large corporations and their employees to help them understand and use their employer benefits. I am the managing member and founder of my firm. If you “Google” my name, you’ll find that I am quoted regularly in the Puget Sound media on financial planning and employee benefits topics.

My passion for investing took root while I was still in high school. I have always enjoyed organizing financial data and learning about financial markets. Now I apply those passions to help my clients articulate and make their financial dreams come true. I also serve as an Adjunct Professor at City University. Here I teach courses in retirement planning and employee benefits.

I am an avid golfer, photographer, movie buff, exerciser, reader and life-long learner with a wall of “how-to” books about a wide range of subjects. Married to Nancy since 1987, we welcomed our son Kyle to the family in 1997. Shadow, our golden retriever, joined us in 2004. Together, we enjoy today, save for tomorrow, and express gratitude for the good fortune we have to do work we love that serves others in ways that make a lasting difference in their lives.
