About our Firm

We're about helping you live the life you want.

We’ve been leading clients through the retirement planning maze for 20 years, and I’m amazed at the difference our approach to retirement planning makes to give them the peace of mind and confidence they need to spend these years doing what they love.

They may start the process with only a general idea of what they want to do in retirement (and no idea how much money they need to do it). That’s common.

And it’s why we have a series of discovery and planning meetings before they ever decide to work with us long term. Each step of our process brings clarity that helps you:

✔️ Avoid worry and stress
✔️ Save time and energy
✔️ Experience a strong sense of purpose in retirement

As a Fee-only Fiduciary, we’re 100% transparent with our clients. We receive no third-party commissions and have no incentive to recommend someone else’s program or fund. Instead, we act as a buffer between you and salespeople pushing their own agendas. You can rest assured knowing we are always asking, “Will this help our clients live the life they want to live?”

We have offices located in San Diego and Los Angeles.

WE’VE GOT YOUR BACK, NO MATTER WHAT.

To make Wealthtender free for readers, we earn a nominal monthly fee from financial advisors and firms in exchange for marketing services (including being featured on this profile page), subject to terms of use. This compensation creates a natural conflict of interest when we favor their promotion over others. Wealthtender is not a client of these advisors or firms. Testimonials may not be representative of other clients’ experiences and do not guarantee future performance or success.
