MEET JAKE

After 10 years in the financial planning field, Jake has learned a few things about helping clients manage their money, emotions and taxes to build wealth and accomplish their life’s goals across generations. Jake’s specialty is working with young wealth builders, focused on accumulation, growth and achieving life experiences. On the other end of the planning horizon, Jake works with many of his wealth builders’ parents, specifically helping widowers through the unique challenges of transitioning into a new phase of retirement without their life partner.    
Jake grew up in small town Texas and was a first-generation college graduate. The experience of putting himself through college helped him to realize that money could be a source of anxiety for many families, including his own. He believed if he could learn to tackle managing finances, then he could take away some of the worries of life. Now his mission is to take the fear out of financial planning and provide real life solutions for the clients he serves.
