I meet a lot of people who view their personal finances the same as their cluttered attic: a looming, scary project that's easier to ignore. If you are considering retirement, are saving to buy a house or want to put your kids or grandkids through college and don't know where to start, I'm happy to climb into that attic with you and start putting things in order.My favorite part of being a financial advisor is walking alongside people to make a plan that helps them achieve what is most important to them. I'm a lifelong resident of the Seattle area — I grew up in Redmond before moving to Seattle to attend the University of Washington.Before joining Edward Jones, I worked for nonprofits, which included directing a meal program for a local agency and partnering with organizations on the eastside to plan blood drives for Bloodworks Northwest. After that, I worked for a pair of electric bike companies, including Rad Power Bikes.The common thread through my career has been building relationships and working alongside people to help them build a better world. I'm thrilled I get to continue that work with Edward Jones.When I'm not working, I can be found playing fetch with my energetic yellow lab Cal, hiking and mountaineering in the Cascades, and going to Mariners and UW Husky football games.If you've been meaning to check your attic, but you can't bring yourself to do so, please consider giving me a call or sending me an email. I'm happy to help.
