About

Concert Financial Planning is designed for BigLaw attorneys, who feel like their life is going “live” and need to take action to manage their finances.

There are many reasons that people find themselves looking for help, each one specific to their own story and situation. Whatever your reasons may be, I created Concert Financial Planning to help you organize your finances and get on the right path to achieving your goals.

I named the firm “Concert” for two reasons: One, it speaks to my personality and passion outside of work, in that I’ve played music since I was 9 years old. But more importantly, it speaks to the need to have all of the different aspects of your financial life work together “in concert”. I help you create a comprehensive strategy that looks at your cash flow, budget, retirement plan at work, investment accounts, student loans, emergency funds, insurance, estate plan (yes, you need one), tax strategy, and so much more. All of these things need to work together in order for any of them to be effective.

While a lot of these things sound boring compared to the excitement (or anxiety) that come along with investing, they are important. The good news is that by working with a professional, you can offload much of the day-to-day work that is required to maintain a financial plan, and instead focus on the things in life that are more important to you. That is why I’m here.

My formal background is this: I grew up in a family of financial professionals (grandfather, dad, and brother). I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a B.A. in Economics and have been working in the financial services industry ever since (15+ years). During that time, I not only obtained the requisite licenses, but earned rigorous certifications focused on financial planning (CFP®) and investment management (CFA®). After working with clients that were financial advisors themselves at large bank brokerages and independent firms across the country, I launched Concert Financial Planning to focus on what I found to be an under-served market: you!

My goal is to help high income individuals and families get on the right track early on so that they can avoid pitfalls and missed opportunities that can add up by the time most people get help, in or near retirement. I hope you’ll reach out so we can discuss what prompted your search for an advisor that identifies with your stage in life and is eager to help you navigate “When Life Goes Live”!

Refined Wealth

After nearly a decade in corporate finance in the energy industry, living through its highs and lows. I saw unique pay structures, pension choices, equity awards, and retirement packages make planning decisions far more intricate than most people realize. Five years ago, I set out to become an expert in retirement planning. I apprenticed with seasoned advisors, earned the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® certification, and added advanced credentials in retirement and tax planning to master the strategies that matter most. At Refined Wealth, every process, service, and conversation is built around helping professionals step into retirement with clarity, confidence, and a plan as specialized as their careers.
