Investment Management for a Competitive Fee:

I will design and implement an investment portfolio that takes into consideration your risk tolerance and time horizon, using mostly low-cost exchange traded index funds.  This service includes:

  • Initial Financial/Retirement Plan
  • Annual Plan Review
  • Ongoing monitoring and re-balancing or re-positioning as needed
  • Regular communication with you
  • At-home meetings if you find that more convenient than meeting at my office.  ​


My fee schedule is available on request. Fees may be negotiable. I do not earn commissions on trades, nor do I sell any products.


I must always act as your fiduciary-which means I must always put your interests above my own and make recommendations based solely on your best interests. I accept no payments, commissions, spiffs, free lunches, etc...from third party product providers-my only source of compensation is fees paid to me directly by my clients.




Retirement/Financial Planning for a Flat Fee:

I will put together a plan for you based on your specific situation and goals to help you answer the financial questions most important to you, such as when you can retire comfortably.  The plan will include recommendations regarding:
  • Investments 
  • Will and Legacy plan 
  • Social Security Benefits
  • Insurance Needs
  • Any other issues you want to address.


We will agree on a flat fee based on an estimate of how many hours I will work on your plan at $200 per hour.  Once agreed to the fee cannot increase regardless of how many hours I actually work on your plan.
