Profile

Financial planning is a lot like the game Tetris.
At first, it’s slow.
There’s space. Time to think and room to recover.

Then life speeds up.
Raising kids.
Aging parents.
Retirement on the horizon.
And the pieces keep coming.

You’ve built something meaningful but now the decisions feel more complex.
It’s harder to see the full picture in real time.

That’s where I come in.
If you’re aiming for a work-optional lifestyle, I have a process that helps put the financial puzzle together.

Just like in Tetris, the goal isn’t to keep up.
It’s to optimize every move.
