Meet Tom, CFP®, MBA

There’s no better place to live and work than right here in Silicon Valley. The fast pace of growth and change is invigorating.

Like you, I’ve struggled with the unique challenges of buying a home, getting ahead in my career, and saving for college. Weighing the options of a commute vs. more square footage is not an easy choice. I’ve wondered how far my income would stretch if my family and I lived anywhere else in the country.

But at the end of the day, I wouldn’t trade it. Just like you haven’t.

After almost 20 years working for companies including eBay, Yahoo!, Intuit, and startups, I made a career change into the financial world as a fee-only financial planner more than a decade ago.  I earned my CFP®, spent a few years at a boutique fee-only firm in San Jose, worked 2 1/2 years at a leading wealth management firm in San Francisco, and then left to build the firm I wish had existed when I was working as a tech professional.

My dream is to help other Silicon Valley tech professionals make better choices for their future.

From optimizing RSUs and stock options to building comprehensive financial plans, I love being a part of the transformation that happens when you finally get a plan in place and start achieving your goals.
