I'm a CFP and flat fee-only financial planner in Aurora, IL. I specialize in helping families answer financial questions that keep them up at night including: • What do I do to avoid tax surprises again this year and pay as little as possible? • How can I get my spouse on board and involved in our family finances? • If something unexpected happens, will our family be OK? • Are our investments the right fit for us? • How do I create something resembling a paycheck in retirement? • Can I leave this life-sucking job while maintaining my family’s financial stability? My typical clients share many of these characteristics: ✓ Are between the ages of 30 and 60 ✓ Earn a household income of $200,000 or more ✓ Are married or preparing for marriage ✓ Have combined or are seeking to combine their finances ✓ Want to journey toward or are already living a debt-free life ✓ Have kids at any age and stage, or are planning for them ✓ Hold only U.S. citizenship and own no foreign assets ✓ Have no unresolved complex income tax issues ✓ Want to exit or do not own complex, private, & illiquid investments If you are seeking clarity and confidence in making these and other important financial decisions and you live in the Chicagoland or across the country, let’s chat for 30 minutes. When I'm not deep in a client's financial plan, you'll find me on a long bike ride listening to encouraging music, sparking new ideas and fresh vision, sitting at a summer travel league baseball game cheering on the guys, or enjoying a night out with my wife and two boys here in Aurora.
