Favorite Thing About Working With Clients
“When I was 14 I began managing my mother’s retirement investment accounts. I guess you could say she was my first client! Ever since then, I’ve been passionate about helping to improve the financial lives of others.”
My Philosophy on Client Service
“I believe in both the big picture as well as getting the details right. I love reviewing and analyzing tax returns, insurance policies, and investment statements to ensure that every aspect of a family’s financial life is optimized. By understanding the details of each of my client’s particular situations, I can customize and implement a plan of action to help them reach their goals.”
What I love About Greenspring
“The fact that Greenspring was ahead of its time — 15 years ago, it was founded as a fee-only fiduciary advisor when nobody knew what that meant. Even though most people still don’t know, it is becoming more known. I am proud to work for a firm that puts clients first, which can be unique in our industry unfortunately.”
