Welcome!

What, exactly, is "financial planning?" There is no right or wrong answer. Each person has his or her own definition. But, I can tell you that I consider "financial planning" to be more than spread sheets and time tables. As a financial planner, my goal is to help you make informed decisions about issues that affect your financial well being so you can achieve financial freedom. I will work with you to help you determine what's important to you in your life. Together, we'll create a road map to take you where you want to be. You can count on me to be your financial guide.

Tax Law Keeps S Corporations Attractive

S corporations are more common than C corporations and partnerships, perhaps because they are not subject to the corporate tax. Instead, profits and losses flow directly to shareholders, who are currently taxed at lower individual income tax rates. Read why reorganizing as an S corporation may be a smart move.

Dispelling Umbrella Insurance Myths

Many people may think their chances of being hit with a multimillion-dollar lawsuit are fairly slim. Besides, wouldn't the liability coverage on their homeowners and auto insurance policies be enough to protect them against a claim or a lawsuit? Unfortunately, there are misconceptions about umbrella liability insurance that could cause someone to be underinsured.
