Background:

I am a native South Carolinian and relocated to San Diego in 2000.  I am the son of depression era parents that instilled in me a strong work ethic.  I counsel my clients to live below their means, eliminate consumer debt, continually save and invest, diversify their investments and insure those assets they can not afford to lose.

 

I began my career in public accounting at Price Waterhouse in 1983.  After obtaining my CPA, I moved into private industry holding several positions as assistant controller and controller for several large privately owned and publicly traded companies.

 

In 2000, I began a financial planning practice and moved to San Diego.  I chose to utilize my financial background and expertise to also help individuals and families make informed decisions about their finances.  I wanted the opportunity to help families and individuals answer pressing questions such as:

 

  • When will I be able to retire?
  • How much is enough to retire?
  • How much do I need to invest each year to be able to retire?
  • How should I invest my money?
  • How much can I withdraw each year from my retirement accounts without running out of money?
  • What type of insurance coverage do I need in case I get sick or die?
  • How can I best save to send my children to college?
  • How can I plan my estate so I can give generously to causes I care about and not run out of money before I die?
  • How can I do all this and minimize my tax liability?

 

When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my wife Holly, family, and friends.  I also enjoy riding my bicycle, swimming in the ocean, and various other outdoor activities.
