Wisdom through experience with future-focused vision
Your financial ecosystem deserves both the stability of investment strategies and the potential advantages of emerging opportunities. We thoughtfully integrate traditional fundamentals and modern planning with the goal of creating a balanced, resilient wealth portfolio.
Your financial strategy should be as individual as your life.
I take time to understand your specific goals and concerns to present guidance that’s both transparent and collaborative. It’s your job to dream big. It’s my job to translate complex concepts into actionable knowledge so we can explore options that feel exciting yet manageable, expanding your financial possibilities without overwhelm:
-
Personalized Investment Strategy
No two clients are alike — and neither are their portfolios. I take a deeply personalized approach to investing, starting with a clear understanding of your values, goals, risk tolerance, and timeline. Whether you're building wealth, preparing for a life transition, or aiming to live off your investments, we’ll co-create a strategy tailored to your specific needs. Your portfolio is designed to grow with you, and I’ll continue to fine-tune it as your life evolves.
-
Strategic Asset Allocation & Diversification
Your investment plan is only as strong as its foundation. Through thoughtful asset allocation, we spread your investments across different asset classes, industries, and geographies to balance risk and opportunity. Diversification isn't just a buzzword, it's a core strategy I use to help protect your wealth in both strong and uncertain markets.
*Asset allocation and diversification do not guarantee a profit or protect against a loss. -
Tax-Efficient Investing
It’s not just about what you earn — it’s about what you keep. I work closely with your CPA or a vetted tax partner to design a tax-smart investment strategy that integrates both your personal and business finances. From asset location planning to capital gains management and tax-loss harvesting, I proactively look for ways to reduce your tax liability without sacrificing your growth potential.
-
Retirement Investment Planning
Whether you're decades away or already drawing income, retirement planning is one of the most important parts of your financial future. I help you define your retirement lifestyle, determine your “freedom number,” and build a plan that funds it with confidence. We’ll explore everything from 401(k)s and IRAs to income strategies and Roth conversions, ensuring your retirement investments are both sustainable and tax-efficient.
-
Cash Strategies
Cash isn’t lazy — it just needs direction. Whether you're holding cash for an upcoming purchase, peace of mind, or to weather uncertain times, we’ll develop a strategy that helps it work for you. That may include high-yield accounts, short-term investment vehicles, or flexible access for unexpected opportunities. Together, our goal is to strike the right balance between liquidity and growth.
-
Real Estate & Alternative Investments
Interested in diversifying beyond traditional markets into alternative investments or real estate, but not sure how to implement it strategically? Or do you already own real estate and need to diversify into traditional markets? That’s exactly what we work through together. I help clients thoughtfully incorporate these strategies into their broader plan, helping ensure the liquid and illiquid parts of their portfolio are aligned and working in harmony.
-
Investment Education
You’ve built something meaningful, and now you want to understand how to make your money work just as intentionally. Whether you’re newly stepping into financial decision-making or simply want a deeper understanding of your investments, I meet you where you are. Together, we’ll demystify the financial jargon, walk through your portfolio in plain language, and explore the strategies behind it. This isn’t about proving anything — it’s about giving you the clarity and confidence to take the lead in growing and protecting what you’ve built.

How
it works
01
We Get Clear on the Big Picture
Before we make a single investment recommendation, we take a step back and understand what your money is here to do. Are you building toward an early retirement? Legacy wealth? Funding a future business or a second home in the mountains? Your goals drive every decision.
02
We Design a Portfolio That Works for You
Using your financial plan as our guide, I’ll help you determine how to allocate your investments in a way that supports your goals and creates a well-balanced, diversified and strong investment portfolio.
03
We Work With Institutional-level Investment Teams
We work with institutional-level investment teams made up of carefully selected specialists, each with deep expertise in a range of strategies, from small-cap growth to large-cap dividend income, tax-efficient ETFs, low-cost index funds, structured fixed income strategies, and more. For larger portfolios that may benefit from an added layer of strategy and oversight, we incorporate a dedicated portfolio manager who partners with me to actively manage day-to-day rebalancing and optimize tax exposure. Your portfolio benefits from diversified exposure, sophisticated research, and hands-on professional management.
04
We Monitor, Adjust & Stay Connected
Your portfolio isn’t static, and neither is your life. We review your investments regularly and make adjustments as your goals shift, markets evolve, or new opportunities arise. You’ll always know where your money stands and why we’re doing what we’re doing.
05
We custody assets primarily through Charles Schwab, giving you access to a secure, flexible, and trusted platform
Custody simply means your investment accounts are securely held by a third-party custodian. In this case, that custodian is Charles Schwab, rather than our firm, providing an added layer of protection and transparency. This structure helps ensure your assets are safeguarded, clearly reported, and always accessible to you. Schwab’s platform is built for security, flexibility, and ease of use. It offers direct access to your accounts, independent statements, and a seamless digital experience. Through our partnership with IHT Wealth Management, we also gain access to institutional-level research, a wide range of investment options, and the freedom to recommend what’s truly in your best interest.
When you’re ready to build a strong foundation for today and tomorrow, we’re ready to support you!
Fees & Transparency
As a Registered Investment Advisor (RIA), I operate under a fiduciary standard, meaning I’m legally and ethically required to act in your best interest. That’s not just a tagline, it’s the foundation of how I run my practice and how I’m compensated.
Unlike other firms who may earn commissions for selling certain products, my fee structure is simple, transparent, and aligned with your success. I’m not incentivized to push specific investments or financial products. Instead, I charge either a flat financial planning fee, a percentage of assets under management (AUM), or a combination of the two, depending on the scope of our work and what best supports your needs.
My goal is to remove the guesswork so you always know how I’m compensated and can trust that my recommendations are made with your goals, not commissions, in mind. Before we begin working together, you’ll receive transparent information so you can make informed decisions from the start.
