My role on the Cordant Team
My favorite part of being an advisor is getting to watch clients achieve their financial objectives. Doing this means creating a plan to achieve those goals, and then committing to and executing on that plan. While both pieces of the process are complex, in my experience, the execution phase proves most difficult for people to do on their own. However, it’s the execution I enjoy most because when we help clients to execute on their plans, we get to witness the results and celebrate along with them.
As an Advisor at Cordant, most days you will find me:
- Ensuring client needs are being met
- Delivering accurate straight-forward advice using the Cordant Wealth Process
- Meeting with clients and following-up on client-related action items
- Modeling client data in our financial planning software
- Proactively working with our client’s attorney and CPAs
Outside the office:
Most of the time I am enjoying time with my wife and two kids, and on a weekend you will likely find us running, hiking and biking in various parts of the city.
