““I started in financial planning immediately after graduating from college. I have always had a deep desire to own my own business, and run my own team that helps others achieve their goals and objectives. As the firm has grown and developed over the years, our financial planning and investment management expertise has only improved, and that continues to motivate me in my role at the firm.
I have been blessed to lead an amazing team that serves amazing clients. It is a pleasure to be part of a team that takes such great care and professionalism with how it treats each client. Continuing to provide first-class service for years to come with The Wealth Group is a professional dream-come true.””
