Financial planning shouldn’t feel overwhelming, confusing, or full of hidden agendas. My goal is simple: help you make smart, informed decisions with your money so you can move forward with confidence. I’m a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ (CFP®), Enrolled Agent (EA), and Retirement Income Certified Professional® (RICP®), with a Master’s Degree in Personal Financial Planning from Kansas State University. As a fee-only fiduciary, I provide objective advice with transparent pricing—no commissions, no product sales, and no conflicts of interest. Before launching Trammell Wealth, I spent several years working behind the scenes supporting advisors across the country, building financial plans and helping clients navigate complex decisions around retirement, Social Security, taxes, and investments. Today, I bring that same level of detail and strategy directly to the individuals and families I serve. What sets my approach apart is the integration of financial planning, investment management, and tax strategy. As an Enrolled Agent, I don’t just recommend tax strategies—I can implement them and prepare returns for many of my clients. This allows for more proactive, coordinated planning throughout the year, not just at tax time. I work primarily with individuals and families who want clarity around retirement, are preparing for major life transitions, or simply want to feel more organized and in control of their financial lives. My process—Plan • Protect • Prosper—is designed to bring structure and simplicity to even the most complex situations. I’m based in Wellington, Florida, where I live with my wife, Fabiola, a Registered Nurse, and our two kids, Alexander and Leah. When I’m not working with clients, you’ll likely find me teaching, writing, or involved in the local community. If you’re looking for straightforward advice, a long-term partner, and a plan you can actually follow—I’d be happy to help.
