About Me
I believe everyone deserves peace of mind in their financial life — especially when income and equity are growing fast, but your time and clarity are limited.
I’m a Wealth Management Advisor and founder of Hardy Wealth Management, where I specialize in working with high-performing professionals at companies like Workday, On-Semi, and Google — many of whom are navigating complex compensation structures including RSUs, ESPPs, stock options, and Mega backdoor Roths. With nearly a decade of experience and a background in psychology, my approach is centered on real conversations, my clients goals, and strategic clarity. Many of our firm's clients are in their 30s to 60s, crushing it professionally — but juggling career transitions, divorce, or major life goals like retirement or relocation. My job is to simplify the financial side, so they can make confident decisions without the guesswork. This work is personal to me. Early in my career, a friend passed away shortly after we spoke about life insurance — and that moment cemented why I do what I do. I’m here to guide, protect, and advocate for my clients and their families — especially when life throws the unexpected. We may be a great fit if you: • Work in tech, sales, or finance at one of the companies I specialize in • You're an entrepreneur looking to exit your business in the next 5-10 years • Are juggling equity comp or tax complexity and want a clear, smart plan • Are going through a major life event that leaves you suddenly single (Divorced or Widowed) and want trusted, values-aligned guidance • Value thoughtful, proactive planning (and not just surface-level advice) If you’re ready to stop winging it and want a partner who gets it — let’s talk.
