Favorite Thing About Working With Clients

“I am most passionate about learning a client’s company culture/participant needs and then developing a plan structure and oversight process that best fits their needs and drives outcomes.”

My Philosophy On Client Service

“I view every client relationship as a partnership. My team and I always listen before we talk to learn about our client’s vision for the future. We work to make the complex simple and understand that rolling up our sleeves and playing quarterback is the most effective way to become a team with our client. At the end of the day, the client’s success is our success.”

The 2024 PLANADVISER Top Retirement Plan Advisers recognition recognizes the top retirement plan advisers in the industry based on quantitative measures from the year prior. To be listed, advisers had to have a minimum requirement of 50 plan clients or retirement plan assets under advisement of $400 million or more. After meeting the minimum plan or asset count, advisers are also highlighted if they meet the following categories: meaning, 91% – 100% of clients that are 401(k) plan sponsors, or 10 or more 403(b), 457, nonqualified, DB, cash balance, SEP, SIMPLE or MEP/PEP plan clients. As this recognition is based solely on quantitative figures, there is no judging or subjective measurement, and it is not indicative of any adviser’s future performance. Neither advisory firms nor their employees pay a fee in exchange for this recognition. The NAPA 2025 Aces: Top 100 Retirement Plan Advisors Under 40 was awarded by the National Association of Plan Advisors on November 18, 2024, based on the time period of the year prior.
