How We Work
My reasons for becoming a financial professional are deeply personal. I repeatedly saw many friends and family struggling to find the help they needed to map out their financial future. I am confident that with my understanding of personal finance, coupled with credentials and training as a financial professional, I can help people better prepare for the future. I moved from one of the largest financial planning firms in Phoenix, AZ to open one of the smallest firms (my own) here in Medford, OR in 1994. After decades in the business, with experience in the management and training of other financial planners, I have developed a reputation for educating clients in an easy-to-understand manner so they can grasp personal finance and use those concepts to pursue their financial objectives. I feel a commitment to my clients and community along with the responsibility of being their trusted financial advisor.
