It is my pleasure to serve the financial needs of people in Milwaukee. My experience in the financial industry started in 1998 and I became a Wealth Management Advisor in 1999.

I want to make managing your finances as easy as possible for you. As your financial advisor, I will partner with a Wealth Management Banker from our affiliate U.S. Bank to bring you a holistic approach to your wealth management needs. We will collaborate to understand your financial situation and develop personalized strategies to help you work toward your financial goals.

Outside of work, I volunteer with Help Organization and serve as a board member of Hope Organization. In my free time, I enjoy Cooking

Services I specialize in

Executive compensation requires special planning to help ensure that stock options, deferred payments and other complexities are managed in a way that minimizes risk and maximizes financial reward.

Along with your legal and tax advisors we’ll help you consider the right type of trust for your needs, the optimal location for it and other elements of a forward-looking strategy to provide for your loved ones.

From starting conversations with key stakeholders to determining the best structure for a potential sale or transition, we help business owners create a personalized business succession plan.

When you give, you want to ensure your efforts are meaningful. A charitable gifting strategy can help maximize your impact on the people and causes you care about, and address potential tax implications.

FAQ

The role of a financial advisor can go beyond investment planning. An advisor can also provide guidance for key moments throughout your life. Perhaps your finances have gotten more complex, and you’d like help creating or adjusting your wealth plan. You may be worried how market changes are affecting your investments. Or you’re experiencing a major life event, such as:

  • Getting married or divorced
  • Having a child
  • Starting a new career
  • Receiving an inheritance
  • Buying a house
  • Nearing retirement

An advisor can help you objectively assess where you are financially and how to prepare for the future as you work toward your goals.

Your advisor will ask about your goals and priorities – where you’re at today, financially, and where you'd like to go. But the main topic of conversation will be whatever’s on your mind. You can discuss how you and your advisor will work together, what you can expect from your advisor, any costs if you decide to move forward, and next steps. You’ll have plenty of time to ask questions, to help you decide if the relationship is the right fit.

No, your initial consultation is free.

We’ll confirm with you what materials, such as recent bank and financial statements, may be helpful for understanding your financial picture. But it’s your choice what to bring. To help you decide – and to ensure you get the most out of the conversation with your advisor – consider the following before the meeting:

  • What are your most important financial goals?
  • What concerns you about your finances?
  • Did you recently experience a major life event?

We’re happy to meet with you virtually or in person. It’s up to you.
