Personal financial planning and investment services

Services and Fees


Our clients range from families and busy professionals to people making the most of their retirement. We work with federal government and military families, and a range of professionals and entrepreneurs. Our clients have a lot in common, and we provide a mix of personal financial planning and investment management services to them.

Financial Planning Concepts

 

Cash Flow & Spending Planning

It’s not how much you make, it's how much you keep. Do you know where your money goes? We’ll help you find out, determine how much you need to save, and in which type of account to put it.

Retirement & Benefits Planning

Evaluate your ability to retire and the resources available within your unique situation. Federal, military, and corporate benefits are complex and their decisions require care and experience. We’ll help make sure you don’t make an election that can’t be changed, and potentially optimize your retirement income.

Insurance Analysis

We will evaluate your need for insurance and review all existing life, disability, long-term care, home and auto policies to ensure proper coverage is in place to protect your interests.

Transition Planning

Retirement, career change, relocating, divorce. Major changes present challenges and planning opportunities. We’ll help you through the changes with confidence.

Investment Analysis

A risk based approach provides assurance your portfolio risk level is in tune with your personality and expectations. We recommend a simpler, consolidated account portfolio. Our disciplined approach limits the potential for reacting emotionally. We also include specific investment advice for employer sponsored retirement plans and incorporate these plans into your overall portfolio.

College Savings

We will explore and analyze how much you need to save for your education funding goals as well assist in choosing the appropriate investment vehicle to use for your education saving goals.


Fees

Financial Planning Subscription 

Starting at $2,500 annually, our financial planning subscription offers a comprehensive approach. It's based on an estimated number of planning hours over the course of a year and includes the initial plan, implementation, 2 review meetings and open access to our team.   

Investment Management 

We charge an annual advisory fee to manage investments. Investment clients may receive financial planning as a value added service included with the advisory fee.

 


Investment Management

 

Philosophy

You need an approach you can believe in and understand, one based on academic research, analysis, and evidence. We offer a disciplined approach to managing your investments. Using diversification, asset allocation and opportunistic rebalancing we seek to capture market returns and limit risk. Our philosophy is grounded in low cost investments, tax efficiency, and diversification. 

Process:

Developing a sustainable investment strategy starts with identifying your investment goals and assessing your comfort level with risk. From there we can build a strategy using low cost & no load mutual funds and ETF’s. Once in place we will rebalance opportunistically and make adjustments when warranted by changes in your situation and goals. We do not believe in timing the market.

Fees 

We charge an annual advisory fee to manage investments. Investment clients may receive financial planning as a value added service included with the advisory fee.


* No strategy ensures a profit or protects agains loss.

As a kid I worked in my father’s financial planning office and from a young age I’ve seen the impact that saving for the future and making sound investments can make, because of this I am passionate about helping people realize their goals. I grew up in rural Central PA and carry the small town family values I was taught with me in my approach to working with clients everyday. My clients choose to work with me because they are looking for a straight-forward, relatable, and easy-to-understand approach.

I’ve been a practicing financial advisor for over 18 years. I have a bachelors degree in finance from Penn State and have completed post-graduate coursework to obtain the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ designation. I am a 3rd generation advisor with family history dating back more than 55 years.

I live in Arlington, VA with my wife and daughter. We are active in the community and local chapter of the Penn State Alumni Association. We love hiking, craft beer, and escaping to the mountains whenever possible.
