About the author

Growing up broke, I never had the luxury of learning about money management. By 21, I had earned my first million, but without the right guidance, I spent it all by 25. This personal journey taught me just how critical financial planning is, especially for those of us who haven’t been taught the foundational principles.

My wife and I are childfree, and it has profoundly shaped how we approach our finances. When I searched for financial advice, I realized that most of it assumes you have kids, which didn’t align with our goals. That’s why I founded Childfree Wealth®—to offer financial planning tailored specifically to our community’s unique needs.

With over a decade of experience as a life and business coach, a PhD in Adult Learning from the University of Connecticut, and an MBA from SCSU, I bring a wealth of knowledge to the table. As a Fee-Only, Flat-Fee, Fiduciary, CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER®, and Childfree Wealth Specialist®, I’m committed to helping you create a financial plan that supports the vision you have for your life, free from assumptions that don’t fit your lifestyle.
