Interesting to see where each generation thinks they’ll retire. The reality hasn’t really changed though. Most people are still on track for around 65. The bigger question is, is that by choice or by default?

If you want to see what that looks like for you, let’s find a time to connect.

This comes up in almost every conversation I have with my clients. Most people don’t think about this until it’s too late though. Your ability to earn income is your biggest asset, and if that’s not protected, everything else is exposed. This is something I walk through with a lot of people. Worth understanding how it actually works.

Money is one of the biggest sources of stress for most people, and a lot of it comes from not really knowing where things stand. When you get organized and have a plan, it makes a big difference. This is a good breakdown of a few ways to improve your financial wellness.

I’ve been working with a lot of couples recently who are expecting their first child, and one thing that always comes up is childcare. It’s one of the biggest upcoming expenses, but also one of the hardest to plan for because most people don’t actually know what it’s going to cost yet. That uncertainty can make it tough to build a clear financial plan.

This article does a great job putting those numbers into perspective and giving you a better idea of what to expect. If you’re planning for a growing family, it’s definitely worth a read.

Knowing the cost can help you prepare

One thing I’ve learned building my business is that most people don’t necessarily need to save more…
they just need a better plan for the money they're already saving.

We help people get organized, reduce taxes, protect what they're building, and create a clear path forward.

If you don’t have a plan that actually shows you where you’re going, let’s connect.

A lot of people know they should have an IRA, but aren’t sure how much they should actually be contributing. This article gives a good overview of some general guidelines, but the right strategy really depends on your specific situation and goals. If you have any questions about your IRA or how it fits into your overall plan, let’s connect.

Are you maxing out your IRA every year? Here's what to know about making contributions —either lump sum or monthly—to traditional and Roth IRA accounts.

I know thinking about debt can be overwhelming.

The first step is understanding the different types of debt and having a clear plan to address it. I help my clients prioritize what matters and create an efficient payoff strategy.

Most people don’t actually know the difference between term and permanent life insurance. They just know they have something, or they're not even sure why they need it.

Both pay a death benefit, but they are built for very different purposes. It's not about which one is better. It's about understanding how it fits into your overall financial plan. If you are not clear on what you have or why you need it, send me a DM and let’s talk.

A lot of people think a financial plan just means investing in the stock market.

It doesn’t.

It’s having a clear strategy for your income, debt, retirement, protection, and long-term financial security — all working together.

My job is to help you put structure behind your goals, so you’re not guessing with your money.

If you’re serious about building something for your future, it starts with a plan.

Let’s build it.

I'm excited to officially launch this page.

After being a professional baseball player and now building my career in financial planning, I've seen firsthand how important it is to make smart decisions with money. My experience has shown me how few people are actually prepared when it comes to:

- Protecting their income
- Reducing taxes
- Planning for retirement
- Building real wealth

This page is where I'll be sharing financial education, strategies, and lessons I'm learning as I build my practice.

If you're an athlete, young professional, raising a family, business owner, or someone who just wants to be smarter with money - I'd love to connect.
