Areas of Expertise

Here are my areas of expertise, which I will use to provide you with customized recommendations that will help you plan for your financial future.

• Financial Planning
  Long-term financial success doesn't happen by chance. Each area of your financial life can have an impact—positive or negative—on your other goals. Understanding these interrelationships is important as you deal with ongoing economic issues. Financial planning is a life-long process that assists you and your family in taking control of your financial future. By setting financial goals, developing strategies, and monitoring the progress on a regular basis, the likelihood of achieving your results is greatly increased.
• Retirement Planning
  Perhaps one of the greatest financial challenges you will face in your lifetime is preparing adequately for your retirement. I will help you create a plan that will assess your current financial situation, determine the retirement lifestyle for your future, review the many options available, and put solutions in place to help ensure you achieve the retirement of your dreams.
• Estate Planning
  You work your whole life to build your estate. You should have control over what happens to it upon your death. Building a lasting legacy takes more than simply accumulating a large portfolio. You need a solution that remains flexible enough to allow you to maintain maximum control of your assets and enjoy them during your lifetime while you prepare for the efficient transfer of those assets after you die.
• Business Planning
  No business can be successful without a long-range plan. Business owners have special needs. I can help you anticipate those needs and help you develop a plan that will accomplish your specific financial objectives, including Business Succession, Business Continuation, Executive Benefits and Compensation, Employee Benefits, Risk Management and Personal Planning.
• Retirement Solutions
  Longer life expectancies and early retirements make sound insurance and investment choices essential. I will help you prepare to enter your retirement years. With an increasing number of choices and ever-changing tax laws, the Network offers me access to financial advisors and specialists I can call upon for recommendations and assistance. Pension plans, 401(k) and 403(b) plans, IRAs, Roth IRAs, mutual funds and annuities, as well as variable and portfolio-based life insurance are just some of the alternatives available to you.
• Business Needs Analysis
  Business owners have special needs. I can help you anticipate those needs--whether they are executive bonus plans to attract and retain key executives, or insurance to protect you and your partners in the event of death or disability. I will work in cooperation with a team of specialists, including your own advisors, to help you develop a strategy that will accomplish your specific financial objectives.

Before you agree to receive financial planning services, please see complete information and disclosures in the NMIS Financial Planning Brochure (also called the ADV brochure) and review the terms of the NMIS Planning Engagement Agreement. These may be obtained from your Financial Advisor.

• Annuities
  An annuity provides an income, payable at fixed or variable intervals, either immediately or at a future date. I can show you how you can use an annuity to secure a source of income for retirement to supplement your future financial needs.
• Disability Income Insurance
  Disability insurance protects one of your most valuable assets-your ability to earn an income. A disability could suspend or terminate your income for an extended period of time. It may force you to close your business. With my expertise in disability insurance, I am able to recommend disability insurance products from Northwestern Mutual.
• Investment Services
  Without a coordinated investment strategy, it can be difficult to build an effective investment portfolio that helps meet your financial needs. As a Registered Representative of Northwestern Mutual Investment Services, LLC (NMIS), I can offer you access to a wide range of investment products and services. I will work with you to develop investment solutions aimed at meeting your financial objectives.
• Key-Person Insurance
  If your key employee's departure is planned, as in the case of retirement or voluntary termination, you can prepare for the loss and take steps to minimize its impact. However, if the employee becomes disabled or dies, the loss is unpredictable and leaves your business exposed to financial risks. I can help you explore key-person solutions available to you.
• Executive Compensation
  In order to attract and retain the very best executives for your business, an executive compensation program needs to be developed. I will work with you to design a program to help you retain these key individuals.
• Long-Term Care Insurance
  Offered through Northwestern Long Term Care Insurance Company Long-Term Care insurance provides benefits in the event of a long-term illness or injury. Owning a long-term care insurance policy also provides you choices in deciding where or how you receive care. Let me help you prepare for this situation with long-term care insurance.
• Risk Management
  Assets that take years to accumulate can be consumed in a fraction of the time after a breadwinner dies or when an individual requires specialized care on an extended basis. Whether you are looking for temporary protection, lifelong protection, an efficient transfer of assets through your estate, or cash value accumulation, my expertise in providing risk management solutions can help create a protection plan to fit your needs.
• Wealth Accumulation
  There are many financial vehicles into which portions of your income can flow. Picking the right combination is critical to wealth accumulation. Together, we can determine your financial goals, and provide specific risk protection and investment solutions.
