I started Joint Financial after moving back to New Jersey from Colorado. During my time out west, I noticed how many people had interests outside of their work, which inspired me to help others become work-optional and pursue their own personal interests and passions. My work focuses on helping clients build a tax-efficient roadmap to financial independence before age 65. This includes retirement projections, long-term tax planning, asset withdrawal strategies, investment management, equity compensation, and insurance/estate review. In my free time, I am likely working on my golf game, or if the weather won't cooperate, thinking about playing golf. All jokes aside, I love to exercise, read, ski, and cook when I am not golfing, or thinking about golfing!
