I became a financial planner because of the lack of financial literacy in my community and I wanted to help change that. With over 12 years of industry experience, I specialize in helping Gen X, Millennial and Gen Z adults with their money. I support people as they navigate their financial decisions, offering guidance that’s rooted in empathy and simplicity. When I'm not working with clients, I'm at home with my wife, daughter, and two rescue dogs. I'm passionate about DIY projects—home improvement, woodworking, crafting cocktails, and modifying cars. Currently, I'm swapping the engine in a 1985 Pontiac Firebird, the car I drove in high school. My firm Casita incorporates a behavioral based approach to financial planning that blends the psychology of finance with traditional financial planning. We create financial plans that are aligned with your core values, emotions, and money behaviors to ensure effectiveness and impact.
