As an LPL Financial Advisor, my goals are simple:  to know my clients well, to treat them with respect, and to measure my success by their success.  To pursue these goals, I develop financial plans tailored specifically to the needs of each of my clients.  I value long-lasting relationships and advise my clients through every stage of their financial journey.

This consistent, ongoing advice and guidance are critical to our success. In my opinion, that’s where the true value of a financial advisor comes in. The greatest written strategy in the world is worthless if we don’t take action and remain vigilant.  Emotions and visceral reactions can be the worst enemies of planning.  Many investors act at precisely the wrong time and make needless changes predicated on the latest media blitz.  It is my job to help you stay the course in steady times and tumultuous times.

The answers to these, and hundreds of other questions, are specific to you and your situation.  I don’t deal in platitudes or one-size-fits-all solutions.  Each question deserves a reasoned response.
