I help school teachers and school employees take charge of their financial future. Over the last 23 years, our team has helped thousands of employees in the education field all across the Puget Sound region plan and prepare for their upcoming retirement or separation from service. Whether you’re still in Plan 2, or moved to Plan 3 several years ago, navigating the state’s website and managing your investment portfolio can be stressful and overwhelming. It doesn’t need to be. Put our experience to work for you so you can relax and enjoy the activities that you’ve worked so hard and prepared for over your working years.

My model is quite different from the standard model of most financial professionals in the industry. After many years of the fancy office suite and I-5 commute, those days are in the past. Since Covid brought us a new model for running our offices 3 years ago, I now work from my home office suite full time and love it. The result has increased productivity, simplified the process, and day-to-day operations are much easier and more accessible for my clients.
