Jason founded LGBTQ Wealth Planning to make expert financial advice inclusive, transparent, and deeply human. After nearly a decade working in financial services, he saw how many LGBTQ+ clients and allies felt unseen in traditional planning environments — and how powerful it is when people finally feel comfortable talking openly about money and life in the same conversation. Jason is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional (CFP®), an Enrolled Agent (EA), and an Equity Compensation Associate (ECA). His background includes extensive work with clients navigating complex financial lives, especially those with stock compensation and high-growth careers. Over the last ten years, Jason has advised clients through many of life’s biggest financial moments — IPOs and liquidity events, job changes, relocating across states, marriage and family building, buying and selling homes, market volatility, and many other financial transitions. He believes real financial planning goes far beyond spreadsheets; it’s about clarity, values, and confidence during moments that truly matter. At the heart of his work is a simple philosophy: people make their best financial decisions when they feel seen and understood. Jason partners closely with clients to help them make thoughtful choices about investing, taxes, cash flow, career, and life planning so they can live well today while building the future they want. When you work with LGBTQ Wealth Planning, you work directly with Jason — a collaborative thinking partner who explains things clearly, asks good questions, and respects the many forms that family and identity can take.
