Co-Founder, Co-Owner

Dinner Table

We’re waging a war on entitlement! Young kids need to learn how to earn and manage money. It’s not being taught in schools, so it must be taught at the dinner table. I’ve contributed significant financial content for this business from my 22+ years of experience advising families with their money management, as well as content from my best-selling book, “Smart, Not Spoiled.”

Co-Founder

City of Corona

I invest $600 million for taxpayers as an elected official. When I was first elected in 2016, the portfolio value was $229 million. I appreciate the trust and confidence of all the voters and taxpayers in our town of 170,000 residents. Each elected term of service is 4 years and I'm donating 100% of my gross salary for each 4-year term to a local charity that serves women's and children’s health care needs for those who cannot afford these services.

Elected City Treasurer

Senior Vice President-Investments

Wasatch Advisors

I worked directly with the Portfolio Manager of a $10 Billion mutual fund company, researching small and mid-size stocks and this experience ignited my passion for investing and financial planning.

Investment Analyst Intern

I help 8 and 9 figure entrepreneurs enjoy increased lifestyle and financial freedom by removing their stress about money, increasing their cash flow and freeing up a ton of their time.

I help 8 and 9-figure entrepreneurs enjoy increased lifestyle and financial freedom. I love being a brainstorming partner for your business, financial, and personal decisions.

If you’re in that group, you’ll relate to these issues:

1. You’re growing your business(es) and have many new ideas and opportunities to do more
2. You pay a ton of taxes
3. You own many investments in different places
4. Your financial life isn’t perfectly coordinated
5. Many people depend on you

You might be skeptical of “financial advisors” because you’ve met a bunch of them and they all sound the same. Here are a few ways I’m different:

1. I created The Financial Life Inspection® (featured in the WSJ)
2. I’m an elected official 🇺🇸 entrusted to manage $650 million of investments for taxpayers 
3. I eat my own cooking, investing in a lot of the same strategies we recommend to clients: stock portfolio, real estate, private equity, and private business ventures.
4. I’m a Certified Financial Fiduciary® and so is each person on my team.
5. I’m a 5x Best-Selling Author: "Stress Free Money, "Smart, Not Spoiled", "Beyond the Money", "Fit for Wealth', and "Wealth Wired Differently"
6. I’m the Co-Host of "The Smart Money Parenting Show" #2 Podcast on Apple worldwide for Parenting, Kids & Family.
7. I have an incredible network of professionals and rainmakers that I will include you in on to help your grow your business or improve your lifestyle.

Stop settling for mediocre advice/service from the financial people in your life. At your level, you need to upgrade the people on your team. Get unbiased advice from someone who will discuss wealth and business strategies from personal experience, not just from theory. 

My Pacific Capital team and I help you solve these issues, giving you more time and money to focus on whatever you love: SCHEDULE A GOALS CONVERSATION® by going to ➡️ www.goalsconversation.com ⬅️ to choose a time that works for you.
