I believe in the advice we provide. I trust this because I was a client long before I decided to associate with Forum or become an advisor.

EXPLOREWhy I Became a Financial Advisor
My wife’s father had unfortunately passed away from early-onset Alzheimer’s shortly after we married and I had witnessed my brother-in-law’s help with not only our own financial plan and how their father’s passing impacted it, but how he helped his father and his entire family’s financial picture before and after he had passed. That resonated with me. I have decided I want to help advise my connections, no matter the age or income, in having a financial plan in place and hopefully being better off and prepared for major life events. My goal is to help simplify understanding the complexity involved in a financial plan, and how it translates to helping achieve short-, medium- and long-term goals. Whether they be financial or personal.

Your experience begins with an initial meeting to identify your financial vision for the future and risk tolerance levels. We review our investment philosophy and approach with you so that you fully understand each milestone of our process and how our relationship will evolve over time.
PREVIOUS 
Discuss Topics Crucial to Your Financial Success
Over the course of the next few meetings, the content and breadth of each meeting is defined by your personal needs. We can review your estate planning and risk management needs, discuss retirement accumulation or distribution planning, evaluate educational funding needs, review your tax situation, and go over any other items crucial to your financial success.
PREVIOUS Develop a Strategic Plan Unique to You
Once you select an allocation, we put together a strategic implementation plan that will coordinate investment of your portfolio between qualified (tax-advantaged) assets and non-qualified assets in order to maximize tax efficiency. The topics we address during our time with you vary depending on your unique needs and situation.

We establish your Forum account based on the portfolio allocation we discussed and what we learned about your risk tolerance and financial goals. With your new Forum account now in place, you will have the opportunity to access your Forum Client Portal for the first time and connect with members of the Forum Client Service team.
