Proper Planning

I founded my firm to help families and business owners make confident financial decisions, without the confusion, pressure, or one-size-fits-all advice that too often dominates this industry. Before entering wealth management over a decade ago, I founded and operated a successful software company in Overland Park. Running a business taught me how systems really work: cash flow, risk, tradeoffs, and the consequences of decisions made today that don’t show up until years later. That perspective still shapes how I approach financial planning: structured, consultative, and focused on solving real problems for my clients. We work with clients on comprehensive wealth management, retirement planning, and employer-sponsored retirement plans, including 401(k) and other qualified plans for small and mid-sized businesses. Early in my career I recognized the importance of constant improvement and learning. I hold the ChFC® (Chartered Financial Consultant®), CRPC® (Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor®) and CRPS® (Chartered Retirement Plans Specialist®) designations through the College for Financial Planning. More importantly, I believe good advice starts with listening. Every client’s situation is different, and effective planning requires understanding your goals, values, and preferences, not just numbers on a page. When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me spending time with my family, supporting my kids’ activities, traveling, enjoying winter sports, or continuing to deepen my knowledge of finance, technology, and business. I consider it a privilege to do this work. My goal as a founder and advisor is simple: build long-term relationships and provide clear, thoughtful guidance that helps clients move forward with confidence.
