I've had a very diverse career. I’ve worked with a large book of high-net-worth families, as a manager with a retirement plan group, and as a coach and leader of financial advisors. These roles have given me the opportunity to see financial planning from many different perspectives and a depth of experience. I ultimately started Sage Saguaro Financial Planning because I wanted to focus on the part of this profession I enjoy most: working directly with people, solving problems, and building relationships that last. My favorite part of my 15+ years in the financial services industry has been crafting creative solutions to my clients’ financial challenges. Working with over 600 high-net-worth households really shows you that everyone's financial journey is unique. In providing these genuine and personal solutions, I’ve had the privilege of being there for clients during pivotal moments in their lives, and I’ve always appreciated the trust they place in me during those times. As an independent, fee-only advisor, I’m able to focus on what matters most to each client. My approach is comprehensive and practical, bringing together investments, retirement, taxes, estate planning, and the other pieces of a client’s financial life. I want my clients to understand not only what I recommend, but why it makes sense for them. While I might not have a truly unique niche, as a Millennial who has seen many friends and family members deal with the Student Loan crisis, I have created resources to provide often overlooked families with significant student loan obligations with financial planning options that can help them gain confidence in navigating their student debt situation and plan for the future. I’m based in the Greater Phoenix area and work with clients locally and virtually across the country. My goal is to be someone my clients can turn to when an important financial decision arises, someone who knows their story, understands what they’re trying to accomplish, and can help them navigate the decisions along the way. Personally, I'm both an undergrad and graduate student of Arizona State University and a proud Sun Devil, being an ASU football season ticket holder since 2010. My family loves music, where I dabble with the bass in a garage band, and my wife teaches piano. My wife and I, and our two daughters, also love to travel.
