Areas of Expertise

Here are my areas of expertise, which I will use to provide you with customized recommendations that will help you plan for your financial future.

• Financial Planning
  Long-term financial success doesn't happen by chance. Each area of your financial life can have an impact—positive or negative—on your other goals. Understanding these interrelationships is important as you deal with ongoing economic issues. Financial planning is a life-long process that assists you and your family in taking control of your financial future. By setting financial goals, developing strategies, and monitoring the progress on a regular basis, the likelihood of achieving your results is greatly increased.
• Investment and Advisory Services
  Effective wealth management requires extensive knowledge about the vast array of investment products and services available in today's market. I can help you implement an investment strategy suited to your needs and build an investment portfolio that complements your other financial commitments.
• Estate Planning
  You work your whole life to build your estate. You should have control over what happens to it upon your death. Building a lasting legacy takes more than simply accumulating a large portfolio. You need a solution that remains flexible enough to allow you to maintain maximum control of your assets and enjoy them during your lifetime while you prepare for the efficient transfer of those assets after you die.
• Business Continuation
  What will happen to your business when you retire, or if you become permanently disabled or die? What's the value of your business, and how much is each owner's share worth? Because I specialize in business continuation, I can help you answer these and other questions. Together we can develop a range of solutions to help protect your business, should something unforeseen happen down the road.
• Business Planning
  No business can be successful without a long-range plan. Business owners have special needs. I can help you anticipate those needs and help you develop a plan that will accomplish your specific financial objectives, including Business Succession, Business Continuation, Executive Benefits and Compensation, Employee Benefits, Risk Management and Personal Planning.
• Business Succession
  What will happen to your business when you retire, or if you become permanently disabled or die? What's the value of your business, and how much is each owner's share worth? As a business owner, you know how many years you have invested in your business. Wanting it to continue is natural. Because I specialize in business succession planning, I can help you answer these and other questions. Together we can develop a plan to help ensure a smooth transfer of your business.
• Business Life Insurance
  As a business owner, you know that your presence on the job is crucial. Securing the right kind of business protection can be complicated. Using my expertise in business life insurance from Northwestern Mutual, I can help you protect your business and ensure its future.
• Personal Needs Analysis
  Financial security is often a major objective in each of our lives. How financial security is defined varies from family to family and individual to individual. Through a personal needs analysis, I will let you know where you stand relative to where you want to be, and provide you with specific solutions that can help make your goals a reality.

Before you agree to receive financial planning services, please see complete information and disclosures in the NMIS Financial Planning Brochure (also called the ADV brochure) and review the terms of the NMIS Planning Engagement Agreement. These may be obtained from your Financial Advisor.

• Executive Compensation
  In order to attract and retain the very best executives for your business, an executive compensation program needs to be developed. I will work with you to design a program to help you retain these key individuals.
• Executive Benefits
  Your business may well depend on the critical contributions of a few executives. Executive benefit products are designed to retain key employees using innovative funding solutions. Because I specialize in executive benefits, you can trust that you'll receive world-class, customized solutions for your business situation.
• Employee Benefits
  Employee benefit programs are crucial to maintaining your key employees. I can help you design a customized employee benefit program that will help you attract and retain quality employees.
• Asset & Income Protection
  Assets that take years to accumulate can be consumed in a fraction of the time after a breadwinner dies or when an individual requires specialized care on an extended basis. Life insurance policies are designed with different needs in mind. Whether you are looking for temporary protection, lifelong protection, an efficient transfer of assets through your estate, or cash value accumulation, my expertise in personal life insurance can help you protect what's important to you, secure your future and improve your life.
• Education Funding
  With the cost of higher education rising faster than the rate of inflation, many families wonder how to prepare for this expense. I specialize in education funding and can help you explore the best possible alternatives for saving the money you need to send your children to college.
• Key-Person Insurance
  If your key employee's departure is planned, as in the case of retirement or voluntary termination, you can prepare for the loss and take steps to minimize its impact. However, if the employee becomes disabled or dies, the loss is unpredictable and leaves your business exposed to financial risks. I can help you explore key-person solutions available to you.
• Wealth Accumulation
  There are many financial vehicles into which portions of your income can flow. Picking the right combination is critical to wealth accumulation. Together, we can determine your financial goals, and provide specific risk protection and investment solutions.
