Employee benefits and 401(k) choices. How and when to exercise your stock options. Negotiating job offers and career moves. Should you participate in your ESPP and what to do when RSUs vest. Handling deferred comp and concentrated stock positions. Figuring out how much insurance you need and if you need a will or a trust. The list goes on.
All while trying to understand how you need to be saving and investing to build the life you want and financial independence.
How do you know you are not missing something and are making the right decisions? Want to create a plan and strategy to make each decision confidently while freeing up your time and reducing financial stress? That’s where I come in.

Why I Became A Financial Planner
I grew up in San Diego and have had a life-long passion for personal finance, investing, business…and golf.
I played collegiately for the UCLA golf team, and was lucky enough to go on to play professionally around the world for 10 years. During that time I also helped to manage and consult for multiple businesses in the golf, performance technology and sports apparel industry.
Running my own business as a golfer and then working with businesses ranging from startups to the largest brands in the sports world, I learned quickly that for many people, personal finance and investing is a confusing and intimidating topic. Even the smartest of people can be stressed and unsure where to begin to start organizing and planning their financial lives. This is when I knew I wanted to take this lifelong passion and turn it into my career.
I love being a financial planner because getting to work with my clients, acting as a fiduciary and a real partner in making decisions, is such a rewarding experience. It truly is a pleasure to work with the families I do. To be invited into their lives, and help them understand the financial decisions they face and build a strategy they can be confident in.

How I Work With Clients
I know it can be intimidating and overwhelming to reach out to a financial advisor. Don’t worry, it is a simple process. To start all we are going to do is get on a call to get to know one another, understand the questions, what you are looking for in a financial planner and make sure our expertise matches your situation.
We will also discuss the costs, how we help clients, and the value our specialized, objective expertise can bring. There is no cost for this call and no hard sell.
Rest assured, I do not sell any products like insurance or receive any commissions. I am a financial planner at Wealth Analytics, a fee-only, fiduciary financial planning firm in San Diego, California. Being fee-only means we don’t sell anything and the only payment we receive is directly from our clients for the services we provide as their financial advisor.
