I transitioned into financial planning from the tech world, where I also held a mix of equity grants. Like many of my clients today, I was excited to own part of the companies I helped build. But that excitement quickly turned to confusion when it came time to actually develop a strategic plan. I understood that things like the Alternative Minimum Tax existed, but what I really needed was a holistic strategy — something that connected my equity decisions with my broader financial goals. My own experience is what inspired me to found Presidio Advisors. Today, I help Millennials and tech professionals gain clarity and confidence around their equity compensation and path toward financial independence. Building deep, long-term relationships with my clients is what is what gets me up in the morning. I’m based in Denver, CO and serve clients virtually across the U.S.
