Hi, I'm John! I’m from Severna Park, Maryland, where I grew up surrounded by my family. My childhood taught me the value of family and instilled in me the desire to form meaningful partnerships with my clients. I aspire to be a dependable guide, a trusted thinking partner, or even just a friendly ear whenever a client wants to discuss their financial life. I try to maximize everyday by waking up before the sun rises (to the dismay of my wife, Courtney) and getting in a workout and some reading time before starting my work day. I consider myself to be an avid health enthusiast. I specialize in providing personalized financial advice and education to help clients achieve their life goals by first really getting to know them, prior to digging into the numbers! My mission is to help clients define their "why" and then work with them to align their spending with their values with a tax-conscious, intentional savings and investing plan in order to optimize their money and reduce their financial worry.
