Taxes are due… and so is perspective.
While today is all about deadlines, numbers, and paperwork, it’s also a reminder of why we plan in the first place. For me, it’s these two (and the future we’re building for them).
Smart tax planning isn’t just about minimizing what you owe today—it’s about creating opportunities for tomorrow. Thoughtful investing, long-term strategy, and intentional decisions can make a meaningful difference over time.
If Tax Day has you thinking beyond this year, I’m always here to help you plan ahead.

I’m excited to share that I was included on this year’s Forbes Next-Gen Best-In-State Wealth Advisors list for North Carolina.

When I started TAGStone Capital, my aim was to build a firm that takes a thoughtful, long-term approach to planning and investing—one that helps families make wise decisions and navigate complexity across generations. That vision has continued to develop as the firm has grown and as I’ve had the privilege of working with many different families and professionals.

The journey has had its share of challenges and learning moments. Being recognized by Forbes is a meaningful milestone that reflects the trust clients, trustees, attorneys, CPAs, mentors, and friends have placed in me. I’m very thankful for that support.

📣 Midyear Client Letter – July 2025
Every market panic feels different in the moment, but the patterns remain largely unchanged. Fear rises, headlines scream, and investors are tempted to abandon their plan. And yet, time and again, those who stay the course come out ahead.

In this quarter’s newsletter, we revisit seven major panics from the last 25 years—what triggered them, how markets responded, and why discipline remains our most powerful tool as investors.

Read the full letter here: https://tagstonecapital.com/seven-panics-in-25-years/

Seven market panics in 25 years—all different in cause, but identical in lesson: stay invested, trust the plan, and let compounding do the work.

This one feels meaningful!

TAGStone Capital was just named one of InvestmentNews’ 2024 Fastest-Growing Fee-Only RIAs — one of only 74 firms nationwide. 📈

Starting TAGStone on my own wasn’t the easy path, but it was the right one. I wanted to build a firm where every decision centered around doing what’s best for the client — no outside agenda, no sales quotas, just advice that feels right and stands the test of time.

With over 15,000 RIAs in the country, I don’t take this recognition lightly. I’m incredibly grateful to the clients who’ve put their trust in me, and to the professionals and friends who’ve supported this journey.

Thank you — truly.
