Planning Specialties

I’ve spent my entire career in the financial services industry and am extremely passionate about helping others reach their financial goals. I’ve worked at a large financial firm and have had job offers from other well-known financial firms that I didn’t take because they wanted me to work with hundreds of clients. I don’t believe that an advisor can effectively maintain that many relationships and still provide top-tier advice. For that reason, I founded Comal Wealth Management in 2020 to help clients save time, reduce financial stress, achieve financial freedom faster and ultimately have a secure retirement.

We intentionally limit the number of clients we work with to make sure that our clients receive the highest level of service. This gives us the ability to know our client’s situation extremely well and to be available for our clients when they need us the most.

My firm is fee-only, which simply means that we’re paid directly by our clients and don’t receive a commission or fee from a third party. We are also fiduciaries, meaning that we are legally obligated to do what is in our client’s best interest.

My commitment is to truly listen to you, understand your situation, and help you navigate the financial landscape so that you may live your best life.

Prior to CWM, I spent 11 years working for USAA as a financial advisor and wealth manager. In 2013, I was one of the youngest advisors promoted to Wealth Manager in the company and was tasked with leading our Wealth Management offering in El Paso, TX. After 3 years, I joined the Austin, TX Wealth Management team to serve the Central Texas community.

Previously, I earned my undergraduate degree in Personal Financial Planning from Texas Tech University, which is widely considered the top program in the country. In addition, I earned my MBA from Colorado State University.
