CFP®, CFA®, ChFC®, EA

Commerce Township, MI

Tamma Capital LLC

I'm Paul, and I have been right where you are. I have a set of 13-year-old triplets, an 11-year-old, and a spouse with a demanding full-time career. Time is something you feel like you don't have, yet it also haunts you if you don't feel confident about some aspect of your finances. I get what you are going through, working extremely hard and watching the years go by swiftly because that is my life, too. That's why, when my triplets were born, I founded TAMMA. I saw firsthand how my family struggled with financial anxiety and the challenges and pressures it caused. This is one of the reasons I chose to become a financial advisor and build my firm: to help bring peace of mind to others. Now, I offer you that same path to financial health so you can achieve peace and security. Many busy families like yours are experiencing relief and confidence from obtaining a financial advisor in their corner, and you can too.
