  • Creator of Clarity Before Crisis

    From the death of my father to cancer to losing friends to suicide as an Army veteran, I’ve learned firsthand how legacy, loss, and the choices we make are forever intertwined. Both the honor and heartbreak of those years shaped how I see life: fragile, sacred, and worth preparing for with intention.

    Early in my career as a financial planner, I often met families after the crisis had already happened, after caregiving had taken its toll, after loved ones had passed, and after important conversations never took place. They weren’t just looking for financial advice; they were searching for clarity, peace of mind, and a way to move forward.

    That is why I created Clarity Before Crisis. More than a book, it is a resource to help families face aging and caregiving with confidence, not fear. Unlike traditional guides that focus only on money, this one weaves together financial, legal, healthcare, and just as importantly, family and emotional readiness.
