Broker Check

Fiduciary

We provide the highest level of care and accountability. Everything we do must be in your best interest.

Complete Transparency

No magic tricks or distractions. Everything we do is transparent. Forget "jargon". We use plain language to answer your questions.

Experienced

We have been serving client needs for over 30 years which means we probably have experience in situations like yours.

Local & Available

We are your neighbors who happen to offer financial expertise, not a big business. When you need someone, we are here for you.

Different People. Unique Needs

There is no magic formula that works for everyone. We have the knowledge, experience, and tools to help you plan and achieve your goals.

Retire Confident

Retirement is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, but we have helped people retire comfortably and confidently for over 30 years. We can help you too.

Get Comfortable

We provide a safe and relaxed environment where you can be comfortable with your money.

Simplicity

It is our job to explain your money in simple and straight-forward terms, not to impress you with jargon and investment “speak”. You can never ask too many questions. 

Investing, not trading

It is not flashy, but the long term outlook has stood the test of time. We seek to capitalize on this trend through patience and discipline rather than guessing when to zig and when to zag.

Independence brings freedom

Our “product” is our guidance and advice, not specific investments. We are neutral and transparent when selecting the solutions necessary to implement your plan.

Putting it all together

All the parts of your life are connected. Getting to know you goes beyond your finances. We want to know your values, hopes, and dreams so your success is not purely financial. A life measured only in dollars can never be rich. 

Wealth is not determined by money

Wealth is determined by love, happiness, and relationships. The number of dollars in your account does not make you more or less than anyone else.

The media provides exposure, not advice

In this age of information overload, there are an over-whelming number of financial opinions. We help you focus on your specific financial goals by using our experience and knowledge as a filter to cut through the constant noise and chatter.

You are not your neighbor

There is no magic formula that works for everyone. We have the knowledge, experience and tools to help you plan and achieve your goals.

It takes two to tango

We provide the know-how; you provide direction and guidance. 

It is a journey,
not a destination

No matter what your stage of life and career, we can help you. As you change and grow, we adjust so your plan continues to fit your needs.

Letter to Clients – 3rd Quarter 2009

When people who know me see me on the street, they stop and ask how I am doing. They make the assumption that given the terrible returns from the stock market and the high level of uncertainty about the economy, that I must really be professionally frustrated. The truth is actually quite the opposite. As an individual investor, I too feel the pain. But as a Certified Financial Planner TM practitioner, never have I been so excited professionally.

Monte Carlo Simulations are Not Perfect

Monte Carlo simulation is a complex statistical modeling method which can be useful in financial planning. The goal of Monte Carlo analysis is to apply statistical realities over multiple simulations and conclude how many of those iterations had a successful result. As I have said many times, financial planning is as much an art as is it a science. Unfortunately there are no absolutes or guarantees even with proper planning. Past performance is not an indicator of future results, so relying on historical averages can be misleading. Analysis is a tool, but only the proper use of the tool combined with skilled interpretation provides any value.
