Growing up, financial education was always valued in our home. My mother spent more than 30 years working for a credit union, where she developed a passion for helping people build stronger financial futures. I was fortunate to be instilled with the importance of financial literacy from an early age and to avoid making decisions without a thorough understanding of the circumstances.

This foundation ultimately led me to a career in financial planning. For me, this profession offers the perfect balance of intellectual challenge and meaningful human connection. I enjoy helping clients navigate complex financial decisions, but what I find most rewarding is knowing that each recommendation has the potential to improve the lives of the individuals and families I serve.

I began my career in the financial industry more than a decade ago at a credit union, where I had the opportunity to work with people from all walks of life. That experience further cemented how much of a difference thoughtful guidance and financial education can make during life’s most important decisions. As my career progressed into wealth management and I earned my CFP® certification, that commitment to education only grew stronger.

At Fidmont, I strive to help clients feel confident in their financial lives through understanding, communication, and collaboration. I believe the best financial plans are built around the life a client wants to live, and that money is a means to support those goals—not an end in itself. My goal is for every client to leave our conversations with greater clarity, confidence, and peace of mind.

Outside of work, my wife and I live in Walnut Creek with our two children and our lively household of nine pets. When I’m not meeting with clients, you’ll often find me cooking, staying active in the gym, or listening to audiobooks while spending time with my family.
