Founder and CCO of Simplicity Wealth Management
“With wisdom comes the desire for simplicity.” -Brendon Burchard
I’m passionate, straightforward, down to earth, and love to learn. I believe financial planning and investments should be delivered in a simple, honest, and easy-to-understand manner.
My 12-year career in the financial industry has led me to a few simple conclusions:
- Advisors rarely LISTEN, tend to over-complicate, and use jargon,
- Your investments don’t have to be fancy or overcomplicated, and most importantly should match YOUR vision for the future,
- How and what you pay for advice should be transparent.
As a fee-only planner, I help people like YOU. I specialize in comprehensive financial planning for:
- Busy professionals and executives who need help understanding their stock compensation and executive benefits
