Wealth Management for Northeast Ohio Families

You've worked hard to build your wealth. Now it's time to make sure your retirement income, investment strategy, and legacy plan work together efficiently.


My passion is helping retirees, soon-to-be retirees, families, and women managing financial decisions create tax-efficient strategies designed to help strengthen their financial position today while preparing for the future they envision for generations to come.


With main offices is Wooster and Mentor, I serve as an objective financial advisor who listens first and offers guidance second.

  • Legacy & Estate Planning
Who I Work With

Retirees and Soon-to-Be Retirees

As retirement approaches, the focus shifts from accumulating wealth to creating reliable, tax-efficient income. I help clients turn years of savings into a retirement strategy designed to support their lifestyle and long-term goals.


Families Planning for Today and Tomorrow

Successful financial planning isn't only about growing assets—it's about providing security and opportunity for the people you care about most. I help families build, preserve, and transfer wealth with confidence.


Women Managing Financial Decisions

Whether managing finances independently, planning for retirement, or navigating a significant life transition, I provide personalized guidance designed to help women make informed financial decisions with clarity and confidence.


Experienced and First-Time Investors

Regardless of your investing experience, I provide education, guidance, and strategies designed to align your investments with your goals, risk tolerance, and timeline.

About Me

Outside of helping others achieve their financial goals, my life is centered around my family, my faith, and others. I am married to an amazing woman, Brooke, and we live in Wooster, Ohio with our two small children. In addition, we are active in our local church and the community as we seek to give back and be a part of the growth and tradition of our home. We appreciate meaningful relationships and hope to meet you and your family soon if we haven't already.
