Working in the investment industry since 2007, I've seen the good, bad and everything in-between when it comes to financial advice. A good adviser can add years to a successful retirement and prevent costly, sometimes devastating financial errors. Fortunately there are many good advisers out there (especially in the XY Planning Network). Unfortunately, there is also plenty of bad advice from unqualified advisers out there. It can be hard to tell the difference. That can be an expensive lesson. My dad's experience with an adviser in the early 2000s lost him $400,000. I wrote about it here: https://empowermenttools.net/my-dad-lost-400000-heres-what-i-did-about-it/ I started Financial Empowerment to be different. As a devoted Christ-follower I help people steward the financial blessings God has put in their hands. As a fee-only fiduciary, my goal is simple: to help you reach yours. If you're wrestling with multiple competing goals, I'll help you prioritize what to focus on first. I believe in honesty and following through on promises. Finances can seem complicated, but they don't have to be. Ideas that build wealth are often intuitive if explained in plain English. As a CFP® professional and CFA charterholder, I've devoted my career to pursuing the frontiers of investment management and financial planning knowledge. My aim is to provide the highest quality service for clients, on a level that I would accept for my own family. Clients I tend to work best with are 45 - 60 years old, making $200K or more per year, with no or low debt outside of their mortgage. I'm based in McKinney, Texas (Dallas-Ft. Worth metro area) but originally from Denver, Colorado. When I'm not building financial plans you can find me playing basketball or doing art projects with my 10-year old daughter or on the mats practicing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Kenpo Karate.
