I thrive on guiding clients onto the right path and helping them navigate a smooth transition into a successful retirement. If you are struggling with questions such as: -I'm tired of working, but can I afford to retire now? -I have a pension that gives me a lump sum option. What should I do? -When should I start taking Social Security? -Most of my savings is in a retirement account that will be taxed when I withdraw from it. Is there a way to pay less in taxes? -How should I invest to protect myself during a financial crisis while still growing my portfolio enough to maintain my lifestyle or meet my income needs? Personal: I'm a recent Pickleball convert and devotee! My family and I are avid travelers and foodies. If I could visit one place again and again, it would be Granada, Spain. I don't think I would ever tire of sitting by the river, sipping wine, munching on tapas, and looking up at the magnificent Alhambra.
