Transforming the Way
Hardworking People Retire
For over 30 years as an advisor, my mission has been to transform the way my clients retire by helping them design a retirement and life they love.
Financial planning is often narrowly focused on the growth of your investments. As you approach retirement, however, you’ll most likely need comprehensive advice that includes Social Security, replacing your income, not running out of money, reducing retirement taxes, protecting your hard-earned money from market downturns, and growing your investments.
My practice focuses on education that helps you have clarity about your retirement timeline. We'll address the key financial pieces of your plan, while also concentrating on what matters most—relationships, giving back, legacy, and fulfillment.
​
How did I get here?
My clients had questions
and needed answers.
Over the years, as my clients journeyed toward retirement, I saw many struggling with when to take Social Security and how to get the highest benefit possible. Because accurate and helpful information is difficult to find, they wrestled with how and when they would retire and how to finance the legacies they wanted to leave behind.
As a National Social Security Advisor (NSSA®) certified instructor, my clients get the solid answers they need. Now, I've helped hundreds of satisfied clients thrive and enjoy retirement without worry.
When you attend one of my 1-hour workshops, you'll get the opportunity to receive a complimentary Social Security analysis session and a custom report that's unique to your situation. The proprietary software used by my firm helps you get the valuable information you need to achieve the best retirement outcome. After all, you only get one shot at your retirement. Let's do this right.
Making the right choice about when to file for Social Security is just the start...
These are just some of the questions
that I answer for my clients:
Income Gaps?
How can you avoid running out of money later in retirement? What if you have emergencies you didn't plan for?
Social Security?
When do you start Social Security and how do you get the highest benefit possible? How does the spouse's benefit work?
Replacing Your Income?
How do you replace your working income? How much can you afford to take out of your investment accounts?
Inflation?
How can you continue to grow your nest egg to beat inflation but take as little risk as possible?
Retirement Taxes?
With taxes possibly going up in the future, how can you avoid tax surprises and keep more of your hard-earned money?
Market Downturns?
How do you protect your investments so if the stock market goes down you don't lose?
I use a proven planning process that coordinates your Social Security benefits with your assets and overall goals.
When people approach retirement and make optimal Social Security, income planning, investment, and tax minimization decisions, they can thrive because they can have less anxiety and worry about their retirement. The greatest result occurs when clients gain an understanding of all their possible financial options through holistic and comprehensive fiduciary planning with an advisor who is bound and committed to offering the right plan for each individual rather than boiler-plate solutions.
​
Whether you’re preparing to retire or already retired, my purpose is to cut through the chaos and to create clarity and confidence for you—both now and throughout your retirement years. I do this through a proven process called the Bucket Plan® Best Interest Process—an approach designed to reduce risk and help clients reach their immediate, short-term, and long-term goals. The Bucket Plan can be utilized based on your specific needs, no matter what life stage you’re in. Watch these clips to see how the process works...
