Navigating Your Time in The Red Zone

We as people are unique. We come from different backgrounds, lead different lives, and strive for different aspirations. Perhaps, one of the only constants among us is that we are compensated financially for the value we bring others. As a Financial Advisor, I strive to help you put purpose to your finances.

In providing relevant and timely financial advice, I help business owners, corporate executives, medical professionals and sales professionals simplify their financial lives. Specifically, I'm passionate about guiding families as they seek to navigate and balance the financial complexities that inevitably arise in the "Red Zone" - the 10 to 15 year window prior to achieving financial independence.

Naturally, common challenges I help clients overcome include...

  • Establishing and monitoring a legitimate retirement income plan
  • Strategically funding the education needs of your children
  • Implementing tax strategies to help you keep more of what you earn
  • Properly diversifying your investment portfolio to mitigate risk
  • Identifying liquidity and lending options for real estate purchases
  • Integrating inherited assets into your cash flow planning
  • Protecting your family's financial future through trust and insurance planning

I will do everything in my power to help you navigate these challenges by providing transparent, relevant, and timely advice that always puts your interest first and foremost.

1Morgan Stanley offers a wide array of brokerage and advisory services to its clients, each of which may create a different type of relationship with different obligations to you. Please consult with your Financial Advisor to understand these differences or review our Understanding Your Brokerage and Investment Advisory Relationships brochure available at www.morganstanley.com/wealth-relationshipwithms/pdfs/understandingyourrelationship.pdf.

2Morgan Stanley’s investment advisory programs may require a minimum asset level and, depending on your specific investment objectives and financial position, may not be appropriate for you. Please see the Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC program disclosure brochure (the “Morgan Stanley ADV”) for more information in the investment advisory programs available. The Morgan Stanley ADV is available at www.morganstanley.com/ADV.

3Alternative Investments are speculative and include a high degree of risk. An investor could lose all or a substantial amount of his/her investment. Alternative investments are appropriate only for qualified, long-term investors who are willing to forgo liquidity and put capital at risk for an indefinite period of time.

4The returns on a portfolio consisting primarily of Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) aware investments may be lower or higher than a portfolio that is more diversified or where decisions are based solely on investment considerations. Because ESG criteria exclude some investments, investors may not be able to take advantage of the same opportunities or market trends as investors that do not use such criteria. Diversification does not guarantee a profit or protect against loss in a declining financial market.
