Mission.

We will work together to determine your desired retirement lifestyle and map out the path to get you there.

We will guide you through the many decisions that will affect your quality of life in retirement, such as the best way to take social security, what accounts to draw down first, and help determine the lowest level of risk that you need to be exposed to, to comfortably achieve your desired retirement.

The benefit of working with us is getting objective, fiduciary responsible financial advice. We hope to be your go to advisor on any financial decision.

Planning and Investment Philosophy

I work with small businesses and people of average means to help you plan for the investment risk you need to take.

It all starts with a financial plan first. Once we can get that into place, you’re going to naturally feel more secure about the investments we decide upon.

We start with identifying where you are spending your money, or where your business is spending. Then, begin the important work of figuring out how much you need to have to retire the way you dream about.

By nature, I lean towards very solid, long-term investments that we periodically review. I believe that with this solid plan, we “stay the course” even if the market fluctuates.

Steve is best suited to work with clients who are:
