Professional Details
There was a time when life seemed to be lining up just right. I had a strong career in the Energy Industry, my spouse and I had just moved into what we thought would be our long-term home, and our three incredible kids were thriving in school and sports. We had our roadmap and we were following it. But then, the perfect storm hit.
One challenge led to another—unfinished home renovations that cost twice what we planned, rising education expenses, the emotional and financial toll of a difficult legal process after our son was harmed during a team event, and the responsibilities that came with caring for extended family. Eventually, I also lost my high-paying job.
What emerged wasn’t the future we envisioned—but it was the one that taught me the most. I experienced firsthand how quickly life can shift, and how even well-laid plans can be tested. More importantly, I learned that having a financial foundation in place makes all the difference when those moments come.
That’s what drives me today. I help individuals and families prepare—not just for their ideal future, but for the unexpected realities life may bring. I offer financial guidance rooted in real experience, built on trust, clarity, and a deep respect for what matters most.
Because financial planning isn’t just about money—it’s about protecting the life you’ve worked so hard to build.

Maximize Your Benefits
Discover important information for your situation.
Married
If you are married, you may be able to collect up to one-half of your spouse’s Social Security benefit. This won’t affect your spouse’s checks. Ask an RSSA® for details.
Divorced
If you are divorced and 62 or older, you may qualify to receive Social Security benefits from your ex-spouse — in addition to your own Social Security payments. Ask an RSSA® for details.
Widowed
If your spouse has passed away, you may be eligible for a survivor benefit. The extra money may be essential for you. Ask an RSSA® for details.
Single
If you are single, and solely responsible for your retirement, making the optimal Social Security claiming decision is particularly important. Ask an RSSA® about your options.
Self-Employed
As a self-employed person, you may be able to decrease your payroll taxes — yet still receive the maximum income from Social Security. Ask an RSSA® for details.
Disability
Social Security can provide valuable disability benefits if you qualify, but these benefits — and how you qualify for them — are often misunderstood. Ask an RSSA® for details.
Immigrant
If you are a lawful permanent resident, but not yet a citizen, you may still qualify for Social Security benefits. Ask an RSSA® for details.
