Start Your Financial Strategy Today. Let's connect for a no-obligation strategy session. You bring the goals—I'll bring the roadmap.

 

Since 2011, I've had the privilege of helping individuals and business owners bring clarity to their financial lives. I specialize in retirement planning, wealth management, and financial strategy, all grounded in economic data, market behavior, and, most importantly—your personal goals.


This isn't just a job to me—it's my lifestyle. I get excited about market trends, political shifts, and the mathematical intricacies behind portfolio strategies. Every day is an opportunity to solve financial puzzles, help build financial futures, and have meaningful conversations with great people.


I graduated from UC Berkeley with a Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics and hold FINRA Series 7 & 66 securities registrations along with a Life and Health Insurance license. I joined Principal® in 2014, a Fortune 400 Company in business for 145 years known for expertise, innovative ideas and tailored solutions. 


I'm also a husband and father of two, living in the Bay Area with my beautiful wife Tiffany and our wonderful children, Athena and Marcus. When I'm not deep in economic forecasts or strategizing portfolios, you'll find me learning —pushing myself to grow mentally, spiritually, and professionally.

 


My mission is simple: to help you live life on your terms, with the confidence that your finances are aligned with your values.
