Summary

I bring diversity to WA in terms of age, life experience, educational and work experience. My commitment to holistic financial advising is strong and my ultimate career goal. Working within a team environment will accentuate my strengths.


Something you don't know about me is that I coached boys becoming men in high school football. Many lessons learned and dispensed about making teammates even better, towards winning the city championship!
