Here for You
As a financial advisor, I know that you want to be financially independent. In order to do that, you need qualified financial guidance and education. I also know that there are barriers to success that create fear and apprehension. I can make the complex simple. I understand the fear and insecurity that is associated with investing and managing finances, which is why I'd like to be your qualified financial guide.
My Background
I’ve worked my entire life in the service of others. Enlisted in the United States Air Force, I served as a USAF Honor Guard with a top secret security clearance at Bolling Air Force Base, Washington D.C., and as an air force base law enforcement officer at Patrick Air Force Base, Florida. Upon graduating from Calvin University and Aquinas College, I taught in the public school system for fifteen years before changing careers. Now I have over 12+ years of experience providing financial education and guidance to credit union members and others.
I am a Registered Representative with LPL Financial.
Working together, we create a customized plan to help you work towards three key financial goals:
- Wealth accumulation during your working years
- Financial freedom and independence in your retirement
- Reduction of estate taxes when your accumulated wealth is transferred to your loved ones
In today's fast-paced world, many people do not have the time, energy or desire to do adequate research, monitoring and management of their investments. Additionally, when your net worth reaches a certain level (generally $100,000 or more), your needs become more complex and often require a higher level of service. A personalized management approach to your portfolio may be the right choice for you.
Here's a sampling of the benefits you receive when you choose professional management of your investments:
- Access to institutional investment professionals
- Enhanced diversification options
- Asset-based fees rather than commission-based
- Timely, action-oriented management of your wealth
If you'd like your portfolio to have the special attention your investments deserve, then let's get together and discuss your unique situation and your options. It's easy to get started! Please contact me for a no-cost, no-obligation consultation.
