Whether you’re just starting out in your career or are preparing for the retirement you’ve dreamed about, I can help you identify financial opportunities to help you reach your ultimate destination with confidence. Based on your goals, needs and budgets, I can help develop a spectrum of financial solutions— including retirement income accumulation and distribution— which may include investments, insurance or annuities. I also work with accountants and estate planning attorneys to help create and implement tax minimization and estate preservation strategies so you can live and leave a legacy for the people and causes that matter to you.
