Coming from a family financial service business established in 1967, I pride myself in being committed to excellence. I work with over 500 clients and have advised employees of Lucent Technologies, Weyerhauser, Nicor and Microsoft to name a few.

I have lectured extensively about all aspects of financial planning around the Western suburbs of Chicago. My focus is on helping pre-retirees and retirees avoid the most common financial mistakes.
