“I began my career with a large wire house servicing my clients on a verity of financial needs. What I realized was the best way to service clients was to focus in on one area and become the expert on one topic…Understanding corporate pension and savings plans and guiding individuals from employee to retiree, running FlagStone Retirement Consultants allows me to do just that, providing sound advice that is in the client’s best interest now and for the future. As wealth transitions to the next generation, the need for proper legacy planning and understanding is even more important.”

“I have always had a passion for the investment industry and in 2001 I was fortunate enough to enter into this industry and become a Registered Representative. I have been very diligent and focused on learning about and ultimately specializing in corporate pension and savings plans. I’ve recognized very early on that it is not realistic to be all things to all people and feel I can better serve clientele by working hard to become an expert on certain targeted topics. I link my belief system to the medical field; after all you wouldn’t go to one doctor for every ailment, you would seek out a specialist.”
