Back when I was a flight paramedic, a coworker once asked me why I always brought my coffee from home instead of grabbing one from the coffee shop on the way in. I smiled… but it opened the door to a real conversation about habits, priorities, and the small choices that quietly shape our financial future. That was a just a casual conversation while checking off equipment on the helicopter at the beginning of shift. For quite sometime now my duties have changed. It’s been my duty to have that conversation with the average “Joe” (pun intended). To guide people on how to use pennies to buy dollars, reallocate assets to minimize future risk and show you how to turn simple routines into effective long term progress. So ask yourself this… If swapping just one store-bought coffee a week for one you make at home could move you closer to financial freedom, would it be worth it?

That’s where I come in. As a financial representative with a member driven organization and fellow veteran, I help you: ✅ Understand how your benefits fit into your overall financial plan ✅ Allocate income in ways that reduce tax exposure ✅ Build a strategy that reflects your unique journey — not a cookie-cutter approach You’ve served your country.
