My Mission Statement
Working with you to help preserve and grow wealth for your long-term goals
My Story
I believe that any investment goal should start with the individual in mind. Building wealth is a process that needs to be designed with wealth preservation as the most important priority. It is my job as your financial advisor to create an asset allocation that focuses on individual needs and risk tolerance. My priority is to learn about your personal financial situation and work with you to develop a customized plan. After creating a plan that outlines your financial goals it is my job to implement and maintain that investment plan to make sure we are on track. I believe it is essential to review each client’s portfolio because markets and goals are certain to change over time. I utilize technical and fundamental analysis when making financial decisions. Using fundamental research helps find the companies worth buying. Technical analysis tells us when it’s time to buy and sell those companies. I look forward to serving your long-term investment goals. Please feel free to call me any time.
