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.

• 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.
• Retirement Solutions
  Longer life expectancies and early retirements make sound insurance and investment choices essential. I will help you prepare to enter your retirement years. With an increasing number of choices and ever-changing tax laws, the Network offers me access to financial advisors and specialists I can call upon for recommendations and assistance. Pension plans, 401(k) and 403(b) plans, IRAs, Roth IRAs, mutual funds and annuities, as well as variable and portfolio-based life insurance are just some of the alternatives available to you.
• 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 Needs Analysis
  Business owners have special needs. I can help you anticipate those needs--whether they are executive bonus plans to attract and retain key executives, or insurance to protect you and your partners in the event of death or disability. I will work in cooperation with a team of specialists, including your own advisors, to help you develop a strategy that will accomplish your specific financial objectives.
• Estate Analysis
  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 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.

• Investment Services
  Without a coordinated investment strategy, it can be difficult to build an effective investment portfolio that helps meet your financial needs. As a Registered Representative of Northwestern Mutual Investment Services, LLC (NMIS), I can offer you access to a wide range of investment products and services. I will work with you to develop investment solutions aimed at meeting your financial objectives.
• Long-Term Care Insurance
  Offered through Northwestern Long Term Care Insurance Company Long-Term Care insurance provides benefits in the event of a long-term illness or injury. Owning a long-term care insurance policy also provides you choices in deciding where or how you receive care. Let me help you prepare for this situation with long-term care insurance.
• Variable Products
  If you are interested in variable products that allow you to direct your invested assets into a wide range of investment funds, as a Registered Representative of Northwestern Mutual Investment Services, LLC (NMIS), I can offer you variable annuities and variable life insurance.
• 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.
• Annuities
  An annuity provides an income, payable at fixed or variable intervals, either immediately or at a future date. I can show you how you can use an annuity to secure a source of income for retirement to supplement your future financial needs.
• 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.
• 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.
