My Story

From the Boardroom to the Kitchen Table


Maryland Roots, National Experience

I started my first business as a college freshman at the University of Maryland, and that work ethic never left me. I spent 20 years building and leading financial advisory offices up and down the East Coast. In 2017 my career brought me to Tampa, Florida, where I led a major regional office.

Why I Went Independent

After two decades of hiring and training other advisors, I realized I missed the part I loved most: sitting across from real people and helping a plan finally click. In 2021 I stepped away from the corporate world to give unbiased, lifetime financial guidance directly to families. No corporate scripts, just honest strategy.

Life Beyond the Numbers

When I am not working on client strategies, you will find me on the water boating or jet skiing, or on the basketball court. I have embraced the Florida lifestyle, but my heart still beats for the Baltimore Ravens.
