I was a college professor for many years and now I teach fellow professors how to manage their finances with confidence. I teach early-career professors how to create an effective financial plan and teach seasoned professors how to adjust their plans as retirement approaches. As a professor, I prepare for the first day of class. As a money mentor, I help professors prepare for their first day of retirement. As a professor, I help students develop an academic plan to meet their career goals. As a money mentor, I help professors develop a financial plan to achieve their life goals. Unlike most financial professionals, I work with you as a fee-only fiduciary planner. This means I am paid directly by you for objective advice without sales commissions, hidden fees, or conflicts of interests. My earliest money memory is saving my allowance and birthday money to pay for a toy when I was seven years old. I went to the sales counter with my piggy bank and dumped out coins and crumpled dollar bills. To this day, I value the ability to save for future goals. And yes, I still own the ceramic piggy bank! Investments are important, but so are income taxes, insurance, education funding, daily spending habits, estate planning and our relationship with money. I look forward to helping you achieve clarity and confidence with all aspects of a comprehensive financial plan.
