An experienced fee-only financial planner, I work alongside a strong team helping many families across the United States fulfill their dream of reaching financial independence. Our focus on middle and upper-middle class families allows us to provide comprehensive financial planning and investment management through a fiduciary, fee-only approach. I enjoy helping clients make their money work more efficiently and effectively through proven financial planning systems and processes. Serving as a trusted resource gives clients confidence that they have an experienced professional to turn to when important financial decisions arise, helping reduce the stress and uncertainty that often accompany those decisions. I began my career in financial services after earning my undergraduate degree in Business Administration from Kansas State University in 2009 and have spent well over a decade providing financial planning advice to hundreds of client families. I earned the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ certification in 2014 and have been professionally preparing individual income tax returns since 2012. In 2024, I became an Enrolled Agent (EA) with the IRS, further strengthening my ability to incorporate tax planning and preparation into comprehensive financial advice. My extensive experience in financial planning, investment management, and taxation allows me to bring a well-rounded perspective to each client's financial life. By integrating these areas rather than viewing them in isolation, I help families make informed financial decisions, identify opportunities, and develop strategies designed to help them achieve their long-term goals.
