Financial Planning

As a financial planner, I do more than create plans and advise on investments. My role is to be your trusted collaborator, partner, and investment facilitator. For over 20 years, I've guided clients through market fluctuations, global economic changes, and evolving tax landscapes, always with a focus on your long-term goals.

I take a look at your current situation and your goals and create a customized blueprint that lays out your next steps in a way that’s simple to understand. We meet regularly to discuss your plan and portfolio and have a collaborative discussion around decisions and changes.

My team and I specialize in serving retirement-focused investors in the East Bay who are seeking careful growth and protection from market losses. That’s why we created the Lifetime Wealth BlueprintTM. It’s an easy-to-understand one-page income blueprint that shows you exactly where your income is coming from each year.

Retirement Planning

In today’s volatile, changing world, retirement planning takes much more than “traditional” cookie-cutter strategies. Most portfolios are not suited to generating reliable income and careful growth; that’s because they’re generally based on market strategies that leave investors vulnerable to damaging losses.

That’s why we created the Lifetime Wealth BlueprintTM. On the surface, it’s a simple one-page income and growth blueprint that’s easy to understand. It’s based on a “3-bucket” growth and income approach that’s designed to generate reliable income and careful growth throughout every year of the rest of your life.

Volatility Managed Investing

It's one thing to manage a portfolio for growth during your working phase when you have time to recover from mistakes. It’s entirely a different challenge to build a retirement portfolio that generates income while withstanding the serious market downturns that occur regularly. If you’re within 10-15 years of retirement, market losses can severely impact your retirement date and future lifestyle.

That’s why we created the Lifetime Wealth BlueprintTM. It’s a simple one-page income and growth blueprint that’s easy to understand and shows you exactly how much money you’re expected to have in each year of retirement.

Under the hood, it’s much more complicated, but we’ve broken down each decision into a step-by-step process with simple principles and logical steps so you can understand the reasoning and make informed, collaborative decisions about your portfolio.

Creating a “Personal Pension-Like Paycheck”

Unlike many of our parents, we’re on our own for our retirement income. And most portfolios depend on market-based strategies that leave you vulnerable to serious losses, damaging your ability to generate income.

That’s why we created the Lifetime Wealth BlueprintTM. It’s a simple one-page income and growth blueprint that’s based on alternative “non-market correlated” investments designed to generate a reliable “personal pension” paycheck each month without being impacted by volatile markets.
