With over 26 years of experience, I am dedicated to providing personalized financial guidance. This is my life's work and brings me such fulfillment. I enjoy making financial planning a simple and understandable process. I specialize in retirement planning, retirement income distribution plans, investment management, income tax efficiency, and estate strategies. I will take the time to assess your situation and develop a financial strategy designed exclusively for you using an appropriate combination of solutions and strategies. My wife, Laurie, and I attend Christ the King Lutheran Church in Southgate. We are a house divided with my son Spencer graduating from the University of Michigan with a master's degree in mechanical engineering, happily employed at Dynamic Motion Control Inc and my daughter Maya graduating from Michigan State University teaching at Northville Schools early elementary. In my free time I enjoy running, swimming, mountain biking, water skiing, downhill skiing, gardening in my koi pond, traveling, and spending time at the cottage. The 2025 highlight was our trip to Park City Utah for some hiking.
