Family wealth is not self-perpetuating. Without careful planning, it's possible for the success of a family to dissipate in a matter of a generation or two. This classic rags-to-riches-to-rags proverb recognizes that family wealth is difficult to maintain through multiple generations as not only financial, but human and intellectual capital can fade along the way.

I can work with you to build a plan for your financial legacy with the goal of creating something unique that tells your story for generations to come. My process: 1. Plan for you “ First I focus on your future by helping you build a plan around the four cornerstones - cash management,protection, taxes and investments. 2.

Plan for future generations “ Lastly, I focus on your plan addressing the resources needed to pursue happiness of future generations.
