My Story and Services

You’ve invested substantial time and effort in creating a comfortable life for yourself and your family. As your wealth has grown, so has its complexity and the resources required to manage it. Working with a professional wealth advisor can help you identify solutions to feel more confident about your investment strategy and financial future. Thus allowing you to focus on the people, activities, and interest that bring meaning to your life.

As an experienced Financial Advisor, I believe the first step to a lifetime of financial freedom is mapping out all the aspects of your financial life and seeing how the pieces fit together. With a focus on comprehensive planning, I will work with you to articulate the most important goals for your success and how to achieve those goals, avoid pitfalls and prepare you for life’s challenges and opportunities.

Together we will develop trust, understanding, and create a wealth management plan that is custom tailored to your unique set of circumstances by getting to know what is most important to you. I will bring together the service and solutions to help you meet or exceed the financial freedom you have always envisioned.

Along with my team, I am here to serve as the primary point of contact for your financial life, provide insight, and answer any questions you may have pertaining to the capital markets. I will also work closely with your other trusted advisors such as your tax professionals, estate planning attorney and insurance provider, to ensure you have an efficient, coordinated wealth management strategy.

    Understanding Private Credit

    Demand for private credit—which refers to lending to companies by institutions other than banks—has grown significantly in recent years. Unlike most bank loans, private credit solutions can be tailored to meet borrowers' needs in terms of size, type or timing of transactions. Similar to bank loans, however, the majority of private credit lending is in the form of floating-rate investments that change as rates change, providing real-time interest rate mitigation compared to investments like fixed-rate bonds.
