Integrated Financial Group
The Power of Affiliation
I believe being independent financial planner allows me to offer objective advice to my clients.
But, I have also come to understand that being independent does not mean being alone.
In 2016, I was asked to join Integrated Financial Group, one of the nation’s largest financial planning consortiums. Together we form what we call the Brain Trust, supporting the idea that many minds are greater than one when it comes to financial planning. Since its inception in 2003, Integrated Financial Group has maintained a culture of passionate, strictly vetted independent members who believe that our vast collective knowledge and experience can help us provide superior advice to our clients.

My affiliation with this professional group is invaluable; it gives me access to a network of talented, like-minded peers who share strategies, best practices, and advice. My clients benefit from the collective expertise of the Brain Trust in addition to my personalized, strategic financial planning approach.
