If all of your money is positioned for only one outcome, that may be the real risk. Markets are high. Rates are changing. And nobody knows exactly what comes next.

Whether you’re building wealth, protecting your savings, creating future income, or preparing for retirement, now is a good time to make sure your money is positioned for more than one possibility.

Tell me why you started your financial plan in the first place.
Was it for growth? Income? Protection? Liquidity? Retirement?

Once we understand your why, we can make sure your money is positioned to help you get there.

You tell me why. We’ll make it all make sense.

Our annual LAFCU Investment Services and TMY Financial night at the ballpark just keeps getting bigger every year. ⚾️🔥

Great people, great food, baseball, fireworks and a whole lot of laughs. Nights like this are exactly why I love bringing everyone together.

Somewhere in the middle of it all, I realized I thought I was hosting the event… turns out I was just the opening act. 😂

Our youngest guest absolutely stole the show. 👏🏽😂

Another great night in the books 2026. I truly appreciate everyone who came out and made it such a special evening.

💰 The U.S. Treasury is holding nearly $30 billion in uncashed U.S. Savings Bonds.

Do you have old savings bonds sitting in a drawer, safe, or safety deposit box?

If so, before you cash them, let’s talk about your options.

Sometimes a simple conversation can turn forgotten money into a better opportunity.

One of the most rewarding parts of this profession isn’t doing investment business, it’s investing in people.

I always make time for students and young professionals who genuinely want to learn about this industry because I remember what it was like trying to figure it all out.

Simon came prepared with great questions, and I have no doubt he’ll do well wherever his career takes him. Hopefully it will be LPL Financial.

One thing I’ve learned over the years after working with hundreds of clients is that financial planning isn’t really about money.

It’s about options.

The option to retire when you want.

The option to help your kids when they need it.

The option to travel more.

The option to change careers.

The option to spend less time worrying and more time living.

If creating more options for your future is important to you, we’d love to help.

What’s one option you’d like to have five years from now that you don’t have today?

The weather finally seems like it’s breaking… which means it’s officially time to pull my Harley out. 🏍️☀️

So all meetings are canceled until winter! Joking… maybe. 😂 But really, I’ll park it long enough to still give financial advice.

And for all of you already benefiting from my smart brain (🧠 😂) managing your money… I promise I’ll wear a helmet and protect my brain just like I protect your money. 💰

Have you been to the gas pump lately?

Inflation rose to 3.8% in April, driven largely by higher gas prices, and it’s a reminder of why long-term planning matters.

If you’ve worked with me, you’ve heard me talk about inflation and the importance of growth. Over time, money sitting in low-yield savings or checking accounts can slowly lose purchasing power.

Safety and liquidity matter, but in today’s environment, standing still financially can come with its own risk. The goal is balance: protection, growth, and a strategy built to keep up over time.

If you have money sitting in a low-yield bank or credit union account with no intended use over the next year and a half, let’s talk about whether there may be better long-term options.
