CTFA, CFP®, AIF®, CRPS®
Financial Advisor / Member Owner
I joined Savant with the intention that I could be a true fiduciary and advocate to my clients, giving them the best advice, planning, and investment portfolio without being burdened by a corporate structure. It is incredibly gratifying to become part of my clients' lives – getting to know them, their families, and how we can help them.
