I am the founder of Courtside Wealth Partners, a firm dedicated to helping athletes and entrepreneurs achieve lasting financial success. With over a decade of experience in banking, I have developed a deep understanding of the financial challenges faced by high-achieving individuals. Throughout my career, I recognized the critical need for personalized financial guidance and education, particularly for those managing sudden wealth or balancing complex business finances.
Driven by my passion for empowering clients with the knowledge and tools they need to take control of their financial futures, I founded Courtside Wealth Partners.

My experience, combined with a commitment to financial education, ensures that Courtside Wealth Partners is not just a financial advisory firm but a trusted partner in every client’s journey to financial success.
