Hey there, thanks for visiting my profile. I started in the financial services industry in 2008, amidst the Great Recession. It was both a fascinating and heartbreaking time to start in this business. I’ve spoken to countless families whose retirement plans were delayed years because of it, and this had a significant impact on my career path.
In addition to running my firm Imagine Financial Security, I also host The Planning for Retirement Podcast, where we provide education for those in or near retirement.
When I’m not diving into retirement planning or tax planning strategies for my clients, I enjoy playing golf, cooking, fishing, anything outdoors, and of course spending time with my family. My beautiful wife, Jessica, and I have three boys (including identical twins) who keep us on our toes and challenge us to be the best versions of ourselves.
Now that you know more about me, I would love to get to know you!

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.
Wealthtender exists to help people discover trusted and authentic financial professionals and educators who may be a good fit based on their unique needs and circumstances.
Your honest reviews help people decide which financial professionals and educators may be best suited to their individual needs.
The majority of people trust reviews as much as personal recommendations, so what you write in your review should reflect your own opinion and experience.
Tips for Writing a Helpful Review
Be descriptive. Instead of just saying what you like or dislike, share why. What have you enjoyed most or least about your experience with the provider? Have they helped you overcome a difficult financial challenge or strengthened your knowledge about particular money matters? The more details, the better!
Be honest. Your rating and review should reflect your actual experience.
Stay relevant. Ensure your review is helpful to others by avoiding off-topic discussions or personal opinions not relevant to your direct experience.
Make your review easy to read. Reviews should be readable to others. Use proper grammar, avoid excessive capitalization or punctuation, and be sure to check your spelling.
Be yourself. Don’t post as, or pretend to be, someone else, and do not say you’re associated with a person or organization with which you are not.
Be nice. Don’t write abusive, hateful, threatening, or harassing content. Avoid personal threats, hate speech, obscenities, or inflammatory language.
Respect the privacy of others. Don’t post information that can be used to identify another individual or compromise their privacy.
