When I was 8 years old, I wanted a new toy. My father started paying me a nominal sum for chores around the house, and after about a month, I had enough money saved up to buy that toy. When my father took me to the store, he said, "This moment will always be important to you. Someone could have given you a fish, but now you are a fisherman." I still remember the pride I felt in that moment. My father's message really hit home when I was 17 and invested into my first retirement plan. The philosophy of saving today to help provide for tomorrow empowered me and led me down a path to help others start making their wealth work for them.A little over 10 years ago, I built my practice at Edward Jones in Studio City, where I have been helping my clients to achieve their financial goals. I am Series 7 and 66 registered and California Department of Insurance licensed. I hold the AAMS™ designation and am securities registered in 18 states. I partner with estate attorneys and tax professionals to help keep my clients on track.Along with my Senior Branch Office Administrator, Cinde Molin, I help clients from all walks of life to achieve their goals, from recent graduates looking to start building their financial futures, to entertainment industry professionals, educators and retirees looking to preserve their assets and plan for future generations.When I am not helping clients, you can find me on the basketball court or out on a hike. I enjoy being outdoors and exploring the trails all around Los Angeles with my rescue dog, Uther. I also play bass in a band or two from time to time.
