I’ve seen the medical journey up close. My wife and I navigated med school, residency, and fellowship together. We dealt with the student loans, the long hours, and had three kids during her training. I understand the financial and personal sacrifices required to build a career in medicine because I’ve lived them with her. In 2015, our youngest son was diagnosed in-utero with a serious heart defect. He needed to be delivered in a major medical center and underwent multiple open-heart surgeries in his first year of life. We were prepared emotionally, but not financially. Our insurance initially denied coverage. Despite solid household income, we were suddenly facing what would ultimately amount to $2 million in medical bills, all while starting new jobs and buying a home. We got through it. Our son is healthy today, and we eventually resolved the insurance nightmare. But the experience left a mark. This experience is what nudged me to start a financial planning firm... one focused on helping medical professionals navigate complexity, manage risk, and build the life they really want. At Multipath Wealth Management, I help medical professionals organize their finances, reduce stress, and make confident decisions at every stage... from residency through retirement. My role is to help you live a great life today, while still planning for the future. This business is my way of paying it forward. Let's work together!
