"Being an advisor is a noble profession. I enjoy giving our clients peace of mind by helping them attain their financial goals in a complex world.

“Our clients value the balance between professionalism and a personalized relationship they have when they work with team SFG.”

“Most people would rather not think about the negative ‘what ifs’ of their investments. Yet to manage risk effectively, you need to consider all scenarios.”

“The most rewarding moments in our profession are to hear clients say 'thank you' when helping them achieve a major milestone that we had been planning and working towards for years."

"I am privileged to lead SFG in its growth on the West Coast.

"Our industry provides a valuable service.  It is an important responsibility to advise, help and manage a client’s financial resources.

“Most people/clients/donors have a misperception that they have limited resources… and don’t realize their potential to accomplish their charitable dreams without affecting their financial security.

“Supporting a team of advisors that work together to bring both short term and long term goals alive for our clients is one of many things that I enjoy about working for SFG.

"I believe we have a sacred responsibility to work with our clients on the most important issue they face in their lives, their financial future. It is the most important trust that they can place in us."

“My goal is to combine my legal, tax, and financial skills by working with high net worth clients throughout their lifetimes and their beneficiaries’ lifetimes.

"It is important to choose an advisory firm that focuses on planning that can be there through all stages of life."

“I see each client as a person/family who trusts me to guide them to financial success. I have the privilege of working with clients to assist them to live the best life possible.

“Organize, formalize, implement and monitor - all crucial elements in achieving fiduciary excellence.”

"I think of how I would want my family and friends to be treated and I try to always give that same level of service."

“Attention has shifted to sorting out how technology can be leveraged to improve efficiencies and make our lives easier. In the financial industry, and for us, security must always trump convenience.”

"We provide great customer service where the client feels secure and is comfortable knowing that we are here to handle their requests."

“I work to ensure that all of our clients know that they are valued and important to us, and that they can trust in the fact that they will be treated as a person, and not as an account number."

“I put a great deal of care and a growing knowledge into providing excellent service to our clients.”
