Why I do this work

My first job in this industry was inside a commission-driven broker-dealer, effectively a boiler room built to sell life insurance, annuities, and expensive products no one really needed. I watched families, including my own, steered into the wrong products so an advisor could earn a bigger commission or win a trip to Hawaii. It left a mark. It also showed me exactly the kind of advisor I never wanted to be.

When I discovered the fiduciary path, the RIA model, the CFP standard, providing advice with no product incentives, everything changed. You can serve clients well, protect what they've built, and still do well for yourself. That conviction became my mission: protect and grow your wealth, with protect coming first.

The RETIRE framework

I built my practice on a simple belief: the life plan comes first, the portfolio comes second. RETIRE is the system I use to tackle every corner of your financial life and align it to your specific goals, so the strategy is actually yours, never cookie-cutter. Here is how each part works together.

Protecting what you've built

Risk management is where we start, because protecting your wealth matters more than chasing the next return. We look hard at what could derail your plan: market shocks, health events, being steered into things you don't fully understand. Together, we build guardrails against all of it.

Protecting your family and assets through comprehensive insurance strategies and defensive planning. We evaluate your existing coverage, identify potential gaps, and implement robust safeguards designed to help your wealth remain secure against unforeseen life events

Aligning spending with your vision

We review your weekly and monthly cash flow, and check it against your values and goals. If your spending and saving habits lack structure, I help you implement a cashflow system that supports prioritization and communication that is easy to maintain.

It’s my goal to help you have freedom money so you can enjoy your hard earned dollars today, while putting money aside for your future.

Keeping more of what you earn

We focus on minimizing your tax burden throughout the year, not just at tax season. By integrating proactive planning with the Intelligent Wealth Platform, we aim to keep more of your earnings invested to grow your net wealth.

Taxes are one of the most reliable places to add value over a lifetime, and in retirement the stakes only rise. We coordinate withdrawal sequencing, asset location, and year-round tax strategy so that as little as possible is unnecessarily surrendered to a tax bill you could have avoided.

Building portfolios for the long term

We construct diversified, institutional-grade portfolios meticulously tailored to your unique time horizon and risk tolerance. By leveraging Farther’s advanced technology and access to elite investment vehicles, we move beyond traditional asset allocation to build resilient, tax-aware strategies designed to capture market growth while actively safeguarding your wealth against unnecessary volatility.

Through direct indexing, strategic asset location, and automated tax-loss harvesting, we work to improve your after-tax return while managing volatility. Our goal is to help your financial plan remain as efficient as possible, aiming to allow for potential gains that compound over time.

Designing your income blueprint

We work with retirees and pre-retirees to design a personal retirement income plan. This goes beyond simple asset allocation; we integrate Social Security optimization, pension strategies, and drawdown order designed to help your wealth support your desired lifestyle.

Our objective is to maximize your after-tax spendable income while minimizing tax drag. By stress-testing your plan against market fluctuations, we provide the clarity and confidence to enjoy your retirement years without the constant worry of market volatility.

Protecting your legacy

Your legacy and your wishes deserve real protection. I work directly with your estate planning attorney on wills, powers of attorney, beneficiary designations, and trusts, so your financial plan and legal documents actually match.

This coordination is designed to help your financial plan and legal documents work in harmony, aiming to provide clarity and peace of mind for your loved ones during life’s most critical transitions

What we do for you

Wealth management here is an ongoing advisor relationship. We manage the full range of your financial life alongside your portfolio, with the full depth of Farther’s Intelligent Wealth Platform behind every recommendation.

Retirement income and withdrawals

We design a tax-efficient strategy for drawing down your accounts, which to tap, in what order, and how much, so a lifetime of savings becomes a sustainable paycheck. Your plan is stress-tested against real market conditions, including downturns and rate shocks.

Tax planning in retirement

We manage taxes all year. Through direct indexing, asset location, and automated tax-loss harvesting, we work to keep more of what your portfolio earns.

Social Security and Medicare

Claiming decisions and healthcare timing are among the highest-value choices you'll make. We model your optimal Social Security strategy, including spousal coordination, and plan for Medicare and healthcare costs so nothing catches you off guard.

Estate and legacy planning

We coordinate with your estate attorney to make sure your financial plan and legal documents actually work together, reviewing beneficiary designations, account titling, and trust funding so what you've built is directed exactly as you intend.

Stock options and equity comp

For tech professionals with equity at companies like Apple, Meta, and Google, we help navigate concentrated positions, vesting, and the tax consequences of exercising, turning complex equity into diversified, durable wealth.

Private markets and alternatives

Through Farther, you gain access to institutional-grade strategies, private equity, private credit, and alternatives, sourced at terms that were historically reserved for family offices, integrated thoughtfully into your broader plan.

Who we serve

My focus is people close to retirement who have built real wealth and want a trusted advisor to carry the complexity, so they can stop worrying about their money and get on with living their best life. If you see yourself here, let's talk.

Retirees ready to make the transition, or already living in retirement.
