Advisor profile


What you can expect when you work with me

As your dedicated financial advisor, my approach to client service revolves around understanding where you are in your financial journey and where you aspire to be. My role is to bridge that gap with a blend of experience and personalized attention.

I consider the impact of current and future tax liabilities on your financial decisions.By staying abreast of evolving tax laws and leveraging tax-efficient strategies, I aim to enhance your financial well-being.

From an investment standpoint, my philosophy is grounded in creating a portfolio that reflects your risk tolerance, time horizon, and financial objectives. I believe in a balanced approach, combining growth potential with risk management, to align your investments with your personal and financial goals.

Financial responsibility is at the core of my practice. I emphasize the importance of discipline and prudent decision-making in my approach to financial planning.

A key differentiator in my service is the use of trackable goals. Instead of a 'see what sticks' approach, I work with you to help establish clear, measurable objectives. We regularly review these goals, adjusting strategies as needed to help keep you on track towards achieving them.

In essence, my commitment to you extends beyond mere advice. It’s about working together to support your financial journey, looking to turn aspirations into attainable goals.

In 2025, I am participating in my fourth Trek Across Maine. I have committed to join many other cyclists and the American Lung Association in a journey across 180 miles of Maine while raising money to support the fight against lung cancer, COPD, asthma and other serious lung diseases.

Did you know that lung cancer is the number one cancer killer of both men and women today? Another alarming fact is that lung disease is the third leading cause of death in the United States.
