I focus on building strong client relationships that foster collaborative and meaningful planning. I leverage my education and experience to help clients make the most of their hard-earned wealth -- allowing them have a more clear understanding of their financial future.
My areas of focus:
Retirement income planning for retirees and pre-retirees
Wealth building strategies for goal-oriented families and individuals
Custom Portfolio Construction and Management
Company retirement plans, i.e.: 401k, profit sharing, and defined benefit
My techniques for helping clients maximize wealth:
Goals-based planning
Tax-minimization strategies
Portfolio risk management
Disciplined portfolio asset allocation and security selection
Servicing clients:
My client service model emphasizes communication, goal tracking, portfolio management and advice. My support team and I are committed to delivering a personalized experience, where clients find us attentive, reliable, and adding measurable value to their personal financial situations at a reasonable cost.
My wife Kayleigh and I live in Rancho Peñasquitos with our two kids Owen and Harper. In my personal time I enjoy writing music, running Torrey Pines, mounting biking and spending time with family.
I follow the deep-seated Merrill tradition of participating in the communities we serve. This drives my interest in spending time volunteering with organizations in our community.
My mission, first and foremost, is to understand you and what matters most to you. Armed with that information I can ask thoughtful questions -- listening carefully, then understanding in detail where your wealth stands today and where you'd like it to be tomorrow. I help you design and implement a personalized plan intended to help you and your family pursue financial goals while helping manage investment risk. My approach is to focus on potential solutions that can help turn goals into reality.
