Hi, I’m Liz and I’m a fee-only financial planner. I started Primas Financial Planning to help individuals make financial decisions they feel good about and be confident that those choices will prepare them for the future. As the first in my family to graduate from college, I had to navigate a lot of firsts out of necessity, not choice. Like most of my clients, I didn’t learn about personal finance in school, and I’ve had to make decisions based on the information that was available to me. I’ve been fortunate to have accumulated knowledge through various sources. Some of my financial planning knowledge comes from school and work but a lot of lessons were learned from friends, family, my military community, and by making many, many mistakes. I recognize that not everyone is fortunate enough to have this wealth of knowledge at their fingertips and my goal with Primas FP is to help others have the same financial security and peace of mind. I’m a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™, Chartered Financial Consultant, Accredited Financial Counselor and Enrolled Agent. I’ve been working with clients for over 16 years helping them achieve their goals and build their wealth. First and foremost, I’m a fiduciary which means I’ll always put your interests first. I’ve lived in 9 states and 4 countries and I’ll be joining you virtually from Maryland, but I work with clients all over the United States. When I’m not listening to financial planning podcasts and delighting my husband and daughters with tax lectures, you can find me hiking, kickboxing, trying not kill the plants in my garden and volunteering in my community. I'm looking forward to hearing your life's story. Let's meet!

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.
