I know the fear of financial insecurity — I’ve lived it.
When disability prevented me from working, I learned firsthand why every dollar of guaranteed retirement income matters. That experience drives my commitment to helping you get Social Security right the first time, because you don’t get a second chance. My approach is simple: Social Security first, education before action, and faith‑grounded planning that brings clarity to life’s transitions. After 30+ years in financial services, my mission is to help you turn savings into a steady, sustainable income you can count on. Outside of work, I’m a family‑centered Houstonian who enjoys gardening, cooking, spending time outdoors, and relaxing with my dog. Following my faith, serving my community, and sharing hospitality shape how I show up for the people I serve.
