I am a U.S. Army Disabled Veteran with nearly 30 years of service, or service to service members in several capacities, since 1994. I continue to serve the Army and am committed to assisting service members in any way I can.My family’s transition was unique and we were not prepared for retirement at the time the decision was made. I had done some volunteer work aiding soldiers and reviewing budgets for loan purposes and it made me realize that I had a passion for budgeting and planning for the future. I love helping service members and enabling them with financial freedom and empowerment.My goal is to better serve our service members. I know and understand the burdens, whether financial or other, that the service can have on families. This led me on a path of Accounting and Financial Counseling and a passion to be a bigger part of the financial counseling world.I use the skills I have from my experience and my years in the Army to guide soldiers down a path of financial success. I am very proud of the fact that I can still serve and support Soldiers, families, the local community, and the United States Army.
