Q & A

  • What drew me to the Bay Area?

    Family, weather, and opportunity. The Bay Area is innovative and I enjoy the opportunity to work with like-minded, intelligent people, which is what inspired me to move out here. The weather is also important to me since I grew up in northern Indiana and the winters can drag on for months.
  • If you volunteer for a charity, which one(s) and why?

    Boys & Girls Club of the Peninsula and Hidden Villa. I believe that access and empowerment are important for children and families.
  • Describe a personal characteristic that makes you well-suited to help Bay Area families.

    I have an eye for detail and am tenacious in my work. It is my job is to take things off your plate and help you make informed decisions to achieve your short and long-term financial goals.
