About Me


Let's see, have my own financial planning and asset management practice so that consumes a lot of my time but in a good way, very rewarding! Was in the military, as a reservist for eight years but spent nearly two years activated after September 11, 2001. Have lived in Miami, Fl, Cuba, Lubbock, TX, and the beautiful thriving metropolis of Aspermont, TX (pop. 900). I am very grateful for the experiences I have had over the past years, gotten to satisfy a lot of my ambitions and have fun all the while. Still a lot more to come though! Life really is what you make of it! I like to take it serious but I generally unwind pretty serious too! Life requires balance, right?

My Interests

Success(Continually reaccessing what it means for me personally and going for it!); Snowboarding; Adventure sports (Many I have yet to try. (skydiving, whitewater rafting, etc.); Personal Finance (Really enjoy what I do to pay the bills!); Tha' One Step (All you country girls know what I'm talkin' about!); Fitness (Wouldn't guess that right now)

I'd like to meet:

Honest people who are genuine and real! I also have an affinity for people with a strong desire to suceed in whatever it is they do. Either as clients, friends or both it is rewarding to be around people who see the opportunities life has to offer and seize them. I enjoy being a part of that success as an advocate in whatever capacity I can. I see it a lot with clients who allow me to partner with them and their families to set forth a path to acheive their financial goals. So, meeting people who want a realtionship like that is always a reward for me so bring it on!MOVE ALL HTML CODES (IMAGES/WIDGETS/SLIDESHOWS/VIDEOS) BELOW THIS CODE
