Areas of Expertise
Here are my areas of expertise, which I will use to provide you with
customized recommendations that will help you plan for your financial future.
- Retirement Income Planning
Becoming a retiree doesn’t mean retirement planning ends. Spending your retirement assets can actually be more complex than building them. The investment and savings strategies you used to accumulate wealth may need to be adjusted as you prepare for and enter retirement. Together we can develop a plan to help you achieve financial security in retirement—through our unique strategy that preserves and continues to manage your wealth, protects against the risks that can affect your retirement years, and provides you with predictable and steady income for life.
- Financial Planning
Long-term financial success doesn't happen by chance. Each area of your financial life can have an impact—positive or negative—on your other goals. Understanding these interrelationships is important as you deal with ongoing economic issues. Financial planning is a life-long process that assists you and your family in taking control of your financial future. By setting financial goals, developing strategies, and monitoring the progress on a regular basis, the likelihood of achieving your results is greatly increased.
- Retirement Solutions
Longer life expectancies and early retirements make sound insurance and investment choices essential. I will help you prepare to enter your retirement years.
With an increasing number of choices and ever-changing tax laws, the Network offers me access to financial advisors and specialists I can call upon for recommendations and assistance. Pension plans, 401(k) and 403(b) plans, IRAs, Roth IRAs, mutual funds and annuities, as well as variable and portfolio-based life insurance are just some of the alternatives available to you.
- Investment and Advisory Services
Effective wealth management requires extensive knowledge about the vast array of investment products and services available in today's market. I can help you implement an investment strategy suited to your needs and build an investment portfolio that complements your other financial commitments.
- Estate Planning
You work your whole life to build your estate. You should have control over what happens to it upon your death. Building a lasting legacy takes more than simply accumulating a large portfolio. You need a solution that remains flexible enough to allow you to maintain maximum control of your assets and enjoy them during your lifetime while you prepare for the efficient transfer of those assets after you die.
- Personal Needs Analysis
Financial security is often a major objective in each of our lives. How financial security is defined varies from family to family and individual to individual. Through a personal needs analysis, I will let you know where you stand relative to where you want to be, and provide you with specific solutions that can help make your goals a reality.

- Asset & Income Protection
Assets that take years to accumulate can be consumed in a fraction of the time after a breadwinner dies or when an individual requires specialized care on an extended basis. Life insurance policies are designed with different needs in mind. Whether you are looking for temporary protection, lifelong protection, an efficient transfer of assets through your estate, or cash value accumulation, my expertise in personal life insurance can help you protect what's important to you, secure your future and improve your life.
- Life Insurance
Many people realize that they need life insurance. And, many people have opinions about what type of life insurance they prefer. I regularly help people determine how much life insurance they need and what types or combination of types of coverage are best suited to help them further their own objectives. A well constructed life insurance policy can be a valuable part of your overall financial security plan. I will help you look at this in the context of your overall portfolio and financial security plan and help you determine what makes the most sense for your particular situation.
- Disability Income Insurance
Disability insurance protects one of your most valuable assets-your ability to earn an income. A disability could suspend or terminate your income for an extended period of time. It may force you to close your business. With my expertise in disability insurance, I am able to recommend disability insurance products from Northwestern Mutual.
- Long-Term Care Insurance
Offered through Northwestern Long Term Care Insurance Company
Long-Term Care insurance provides benefits in the event of a long-term illness or injury. Owning a long-term care insurance policy also provides you choices in deciding where or how you receive care. Let me help you prepare for this situation with long-term care insurance.
- Annuities
An annuity provides an income, payable at fixed or variable intervals, either immediately or at a future date. I can show you how you can use an annuity to secure a source of income for retirement to supplement your future financial needs.
