Coaching those who serve in their pursuit of financial security. I joined First Command Financial Services as a Financial Advisor in June 2004.
I am a graduate of Virginia Tech with a Bachelor of Science degree in Finance. I hold a Series 6, 63 and 65 securities license plus state life and health insurance licenses. I am a member of the Financial Planning Association and Financial Services Institute. As a First Command Financial Advisor, I am committed to helping clients pursue their financial goals and lifetime dreams by bringing sound financial knowledge and trustworthy advice to a lasting relationship with each individual and family I serve. My area of focus includes:
*Comprehensive financial planning
*Investment strategies
*Retirement income planning
*Education funding solutions
*Asset allocation and management
*Insurance solutions and risk management
As an avid volunteer in local youth sports, I understand the importance of coaching and apply that understanding in coaching clients toward productive, lifelong financial habits. I play soccer three times a week, coach for the Arundel Soccer Association and volunteer for at Arundel High School School. I am married with two children. Periodically I post information regarding my employer First Command Financial Services and the social media usage guidelines that apply to First Command also apply to my pages.
