About me

I believe we all have a “why” in our lives – the driving force for what we do and why we do it. For me, it’s my adopted twins, Heather and Chris. I’m passionate about giving them the best life I can. I love spending time with them, especially traveling and boating here in Texas. Whatever your “why” is, as a financial planner, I can show you how, with a plan personalized for your goals and your purpose.

I have been absolutely please with my experience and our advisor Cimalie Zoy. She worked to understand our goals and even met with us on short notice when I got a buyout offer from my employer. Her guidance allowed me to retire almost two years early.
