"Our plans miscarry because they have no aim. When a man does not know what harbor he is making for, no wind is the right wind." - Seneca

Many people can benefit from a strong relationship with a knowledgeable and caring financial professional.  Our goal as financial professionals is for everyone we meet to understand the power and peace of mind that good financial planning can provide them and their loved ones. We want our clients to be well-versed in the financial issues that matter most to them so they can make the best possible financial decisions. To accomplish this, we are:

  • Committed to reaching as many people in our community as possible and helping them achieve their financial goals
  • Focused on all three phases of retirement planning:
    • Wealth accumulation,
    • Wealth distribution &
    • Wealth transfer
  • Committed to offering service that is superior to our competition
  • Providers of personalized planning because company-sponsored plans only provide generalized benefits
  • Committed to ethical and Godly principles

Clients value the professional advice and guidance we provide to help them make smart choices about their money. Working with us frees our clients to spend more time doing what they enjoy most and less time worrying about their finances.

With over a dozen years of experience leading consulting teams and working with senior leaders of major corporations such as American Airlines, AT&T, Boeing, and Weston Foods, I bring a wealth of relevant experience to the table.  My previous experience also includes serving as the Commanding Officer of a U.S. Navy squadron as well as other posts.

I believe in service to God, country, community and family and live out that belief by serving in my local church, the Boy Scouts of America, the Cary Chamber of Commerce, and serving on the Board of Directors for multiple non-profit organizations. I live in Cary, NC with my wife and three children. When I’m not with my clients, I enjoy playing my guitars, travelling, SCUBA diving, sailing, flying, cooking and woodworking.
