I work with clients to maximize their wealth, minimize taxes, and create a lasting generational impact.

After an internship while in college, I found my passion in helping hard-working people gain confidence in their financial lives and focusing on their unique priorities through comprehensive planning.

I graduated from the University of Redlands, earning a Bachelor of Science in Economics and a minor in Accounting and Mathematics. I am a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™Certified Exit Planner, and Certified Kingdom Advisor. I am also the author of Controlling Controllables where I write columns addressing practical ways people can increase their financial wisdom.

When outside of the office: I’m hiking Torrey Pines with my wife, Sarah, and daughters, Elyse and Elizabeth, or working out. Anything outdoors and active, I’m there!

Bucket List: Attend Game 7 of a World Series.
