Goals-Based Wealth Management

Serving your best interests. Always.



Managing wealth for the future requires understanding your unique needs and taking a goals-based wealth management approach. That’s why we work to create strategies for both asset and liability management. We draw on our team’s knowledge, experience, and tap the deep resources of Wells Fargo affiliate products and services such as private banking, trust and fiduciary services, insurance, as well as customized lending products.*

Our process


To help you and your family manage your wealth and achieve your financial goals, we employ a goals-based process that is collaborative, engaging and continues to evolve as you move through all of life’s milestones.



Step 1. TALK

Our process always start with you. In our first meeting we ask, “What do your investments and liabilities look like today?”  Then, “What are your goals for the future?”

Every client is different.  It’s about getting to know you and your family intimately from a financial standpoint. We work to understand your short-term goals, long-term goals, and appetite for risk.  We learn about your family, time horizon and then work to develop a road map to help achieve your goals.



Step 2. PLAN

Next, we create a strategic plan–based on your goals–that addresses the important areas of wealth planning:  managing your cash flow needs, investing your assets to meet your short- and long-term goals, offering risk management strategies, providing tax-efficient investment strategies and ensuring your legacy and estate planning strategies are in place.



Step 3.  BUILD

Once the plan is in place, our work does not stop. We continue to build on your financial foundation working to invest your assets and address all of your complex wealth management needs.


Step 4. ADJUST

Life has a way of changing and often has unexpected twists and turns. Our personal approach, communication, and high level of client service means we are here for you and your family and will be available to talk through any necessary adjustments.
