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.

• 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 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.
• Financial Planning
  Long-term financial success doesn't happen by chance. Each area of your financial life can have an impact—positive or negative—on your other goals. Understanding these interrelationships is important as you deal with ongoing economic issues. Financial planning is a life-long process that assists you and your family in taking control of your financial future. By setting financial goals, developing strategies, and monitoring the progress on a regular basis, the likelihood of achieving your results is greatly increased.

Before you agree to receive financial planning services, please see complete information and disclosures in the NMIS Financial Planning Brochure (also called the ADV brochure) and review the terms of the NMIS Planning Engagement Agreement. These may be obtained from your Financial Advisor.

• Special Needs Planning
  Planning for a dependent with special needs can be complicated. It is recommended that you work with a team of experts – including an attorney, a financial professional and a social service professional. As a key member to the special needs team, I provide solutions for families with special needs.
• Disability Income Insurance
  Disability insurance protects one of your most valuable assets-your ability to earn an income. A disability could suspend or terminate your income for an extended period of time. It may force you to close your business. With my expertise in disability insurance, I am able to recommend disability insurance products from Northwestern Mutual.
• Risk Management
  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. Whether you are looking for temporary protection, lifelong protection, an efficient transfer of assets through your estate, or cash value accumulation, my expertise in providing risk management solutions can help create a protection plan to fit your needs.
