  Genesis Financial Strategists

  Dec 2023 - now

  Helping People Make the Right Financial Moves—Because Mistakes Can Be CostlyAt Genesis Financial Strategists, my role isn’t just about numbers—it’s about people. Every day, I work with individuals and families who want to secure their future but don’t always know where to start.I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all financial plans. Instead, I take the time to have real conversations, understand people’s goals and concerns, and build strategies that work for them. Whether it’s retirement planning, investments, life insurance, or rollovers, my job is to help clients make smart moves and avoid costly mistakes.I also spend a lot of time educating and empowering people—because financial planning isn’t just for the wealthy. Rich people can afford to make mistakes—middle-class families cannot. That’s why I host workshops, create digital content, and meet one-on-one with clients to help them make informed financial decisions with confidence.Beyond working with individuals, I also focus on growing the firm, building strong partnerships, and staying active in the community. Financial success isn’t just about numbers—it’s about relationships, trust, and having the right people in your corner.At the end of the day, my goal is simple: make sure people don’t just “hope for the best” with their finances, but actually have a plan to build, grow, and protect what they’ve worked for.If you’re not sure where to start, let’s talk. No pressure—just a conversation about your goals and how to reach them. Show less
