Areas of Expertise

Here are my areas of expertise, which I will use to provide you with customized recommendations that will help you plan for your financial future.

• Retirement Solutions
  Longer life expectancies and early retirements make sound insurance and investment choices essential. I will help you prepare to enter your retirement years. With an increasing number of choices and ever-changing tax laws, the Network offers me access to financial advisors and specialists I can call upon for recommendations and assistance. Pension plans, 401(k) and 403(b) plans, IRAs, Roth IRAs, mutual funds and annuities, as well as variable and portfolio-based life insurance are just some of the alternatives available to you.
• Financial Planning
  Long-term financial success doesn't happen by chance. Each area of your financial life can have an impact—positive or negative—on your other goals. Understanding these interrelationships is important as you deal with ongoing economic issues. Financial planning is a life-long process that assists you and your family in taking control of your financial future. By setting financial goals, developing strategies, and monitoring the progress on a regular basis, the likelihood of achieving your results is greatly increased.
• Business Planning
  No business can be successful without a long-range plan. Business owners have special needs. I can help you anticipate those needs and help you develop a plan that will accomplish your specific financial objectives, including Business Succession, Business Continuation, Executive Benefits and Compensation, Employee Benefits, Risk Management and Personal Planning.
• Investment and Advisory Services
  Effective wealth management requires extensive knowledge about the vast array of investment products and services available in today's market. I can help you implement an investment strategy suited to your needs and build an investment portfolio that complements your other financial commitments.

Before you agree to receive financial planning services, please see complete information and disclosures in the NMIS Financial Planning Brochure (also called the ADV brochure) and review the terms of the NMIS Planning Engagement Agreement. These may be obtained from your Financial Advisor.

• Asset & Income Protection
  Assets that take years to accumulate can be consumed in a fraction of the time after a breadwinner dies or when an individual requires specialized care on an extended basis. Life insurance policies are designed with different needs in mind. Whether you are looking for temporary protection, lifelong protection, an efficient transfer of assets through your estate, or cash value accumulation, my expertise in personal life insurance can help you protect what's important to you, secure your future and improve your life.
• Executive Benefits
  Your business may well depend on the critical contributions of a few executives. Executive benefit products are designed to retain key employees using innovative funding solutions. Because I specialize in executive benefits, you can trust that you'll receive world-class, customized solutions for your business situation.
• Investment Services
  Without a coordinated investment strategy, it can be difficult to build an effective investment portfolio that helps meet your financial needs. As a Registered Representative of Northwestern Mutual Investment Services, LLC (NMIS), I can offer you access to a wide range of investment products and services. I will work with you to develop investment solutions aimed at meeting your financial objectives.
• Key-Person Insurance
  If your key employee's departure is planned, as in the case of retirement or voluntary termination, you can prepare for the loss and take steps to minimize its impact. However, if the employee becomes disabled or dies, the loss is unpredictable and leaves your business exposed to financial risks. I can help you explore key-person solutions available to you.
• Wealth Accumulation
  There are many financial vehicles into which portions of your income can flow. Picking the right combination is critical to wealth accumulation. Together, we can determine your financial goals, and provide specific risk protection and investment solutions.
