I have spent the better part of my life in entrepreneurial environments, where I was able to take business concepts from the 'idea stage', to notable levels of success.
Throughout these years, I worked hard on behalf of my customers, a habit that I have incorporated into my present career as a life & health insurance advisor. Because of my business background, I understand what it takes to have a thriving enterprise, while maintaining the security that a family needs and deserves.
I am constantly upgrading my knowledge of the services and products available to my clients to achieve their goals, while also assembling a team of like-minded and highly skilled professionals, to assist in the development of business and estate planning strategies.

Talking about your finances can be intimidating. I start the process by listening and sharing information which removes the majority of the fear and stress often felt in financial planning. This puts you in control. When you have a financial plan that works now, and in the future, you can live in balance without worry about life’s 'what ifs'.
​
The long-term relationships I establish with my clients are built on trust to empower you with information and expertise. You are in control of your financial future, while I provide guidance as needed. I work independently with First Advantage Financial, so not only do I have access to products from various providers, but you will never be shuffled to another advisor.
​
With an accounting background, I like to help put together strategic financial plans that maximize your wealth for both you and your beneficiaries. Clients have described me as trusting, intuitive and thorough – this is why I do what I do. I take my job seriously as I see myself as your ally in establishing and securing your financial future.
​
If you’re looking for someone who will listen – I mean really listen – to your financial dreams, fears and goals, let’s get together and talk. As everyone is unique - I do promise to pay full attention to your situation so that I can put your interests first and help you find the right fit for your financial future.
