Real financial advice does two things. It removes the financial stresses and concerns you have, but don\u2019t want. It guides you to the financial outcomes you want, but don\u2019t have. It has to do with your money, but it\u2019s really about what you want from your life.<\/p>

Real financial advice creates clarity so you can make confident decisions.<\/p>

I make that happen by asking lots of questions and listening until you\u2019re sure I\u2019ve heard you. I explain things clearly by translating \u201cfinance\u201d into \u201chuman.\u201d<\/p>

I strive to act impeccably. I own my mistakes. I solve problems and provide solutions by surrounding myself with subject matter experts who share my passion for service. I am in a perpetual state of personal and professional development.<\/p>

I am a fee-only CFP\u00aeProfessional<\/a>. I have acted in plays, conducted pit orchestras, sung in bands, and served on non-profit boards. I was elected to three terms as City Treasurer of South Pasadena, California.<\/p>

I am a husband, son, father, and grandfather.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
