Growing up, I never imagined I would go into financial planning, but looking back, I’m confident it wasn’t by accident.

Our home was full of love, but life often felt uncertain. My mother struggled with significant health issues and was legally disabled by age thirty. My brother and I helped care for her while my dad worked in construction to support our family.

Everything changed when I was fourteen. My dad was backed over by a dump truck on the job and never returned to work. Overnight, our family went from one income to none. We nearly lost our Superman, and I experienced a level of fear, uncertainty, and responsibility no child should have to carry. Thankfully, with the support of family, friends, and our community, my dad recovered and we eventually regained financial stability.

Years later, after a lifetime of fighting through health challenges, my mom passed away at just 57. Her passing reinforced something life had already taught me: planning for financial security and the unexpected is non-negotiable.

By then, I was married and starting a family of my own. I knew I wanted to protect the people I loved and help others do the same. That ultimately led me to start my financial planning practice: to help families protect what matters most, prepare for the unexpected, and build a life of purpose.

I know what it feels like to face uncertainty, but I also know the confidence that comes from having a plan. My goal is to help families gain that confidence through education, clarity, and intentional planning, so they can pursue their goals, care for the people they love, and make an impact for generations to come.
