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.
• Estate Planning
  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.

I can help you anticipate those needs and help you develop a plan that will accomplish your specific financial objectives, including Business Succession, Business Continuation, Executive Benefits and Compensation, Employee Benefits, Risk Management and Personal Planning.
• Charitable Giving
  A charitable giving program benefits both donors and charities. Donors gain tax advantages and the satisfaction of knowing that their act of generosity will have a significant impact. Let me work with you to quantify what portion of your assets is available for charitable causes after taking into account your needs and your family's needs.
