Hi there! 👋 Allow me to introduce you to my firm, Wealth and Plan. First of all let's clear up the type of people that we do best work for: - High Earning Professionals and Families in Their 30's and 40's. __________ Now that we've got that out of the way, here's my best attempt at a "short" backstory: I decided to become a financial planner the day my parents were turned away by a financial advisor for not meeting the firm's underlying asset minimum. This led me to study Finance with a focus in personal financial planning at the University of Houston (Go Coogs!). While there, I ended up interning with the same company that turned my parents away... 🫠 After graduating college, I joined Merrill Lynch and hit my first crossroad: Do I go all in and become a financial advisor (at a young age of 22 😅), or do I learn the industry inside out before making the jump? __________ I chose the latter and invested the next 8 years split between Merrill Lynch, JPMorgan and a boutique financial planning firm, where I: - Became a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® - Served as the client service advisor for 300+ high and ultra-high net worth families - Served as the portfolio manager overlooking $200 million+ in client assets - Served as a financial planner, building 30+ comprehensive financial plans focused on retirement planning, investment planning, estate planning, and much more. __________ Then, in January 2026, I took a big leap of faith and left a steady paycheck, fully paid benefits, and a lucrative career that many dream of... In February 2026, Wealth and Plan was born with a simple goal in mind: - Make financial planning more approachable So, if you’re a young family or a professional in your 30’s or 40’s and think that finding a financial planner or advisor is a bit intimidating, we may be the right fit. We pride ourselves on three core values: - Education - Transparency - Real guidance WHILE you're building your wealth, not only after You can find a whole bunch more about us on our website: https://www.wealthandplan.com And, if you've made it this far and are unsure whether or not we’re the right firm for you, feel free to reach out! I’m always happy to chat. If we are not the right fit, that's okay. We are more than happy to recommend a different planner or provide some resources based on your situation 😊
