Balanced Strategies, LLC

Balanced Strategies approach is planning-driven and collaborative.  They think well-beyond a life insurance sale to identify opportunities for planning that maximizes client outcomes.  An engagement with Balanced Strategies typically drives a more substantial and tailored solution. Advisors benefit from their involvement at the onset and discovery phase and they bring planning insights from business succession and estate planning strategies successfully implemented by $50M to $1B+ families and corporations.  Their unique experience and industry perspective affords collaborative advisors a powerhouse partner to help find, open and close their biggest opportunities.
 
Balanced Strategies delivers their services with the mindset of economists, not salesmen.  The economics of life insurance, and in many instances financed life insurance, are often more efficient than other asset types that may be evaluated to fund planning and liquidity needs.  Their team members are highly-skilled in preparing and presenting economic analysis that clients and their key advisors find easy to understand and evaluate.  This approach enhances confidence and trust in advisors’ client engagements.
 
Through comprehensive analysis , evaluation and design, Balanced Strategies builds product and lending solutions custom to each client, carefully evaluating each element and focusing on every way possible to de-risk the client’s situation.  There is no “one-size-fits-all” life insurance carrier or lender. Clients have unique needs and deserve a custom solution.  Balanced Strategies implements sustainable solutions and are committed to managing transactions in partnership with advisors for the long haul. Balanced Strategies is your trusted partner for large and complex case opportunities.

The Elite OC

The Elite OC, a nonprofit business league that empowers leading young professionals to positively impact the local community and grow professionally, has grown organically to be the largest young professionals group in Orange County.  Focused on quality programming for leading, charity-minded individuals, Elite OC has hosted over 100 events to date benefitting a variety of local Orange County-based charities.  Instead of charging for events, Elite OC asks attendees to bring a donation for the chosen monthly charity, which has resulted in donations of over $135,000 and 23,000+ life-enhancing items given to 95 local charities since inception.  Items such as books, school supplies, instruments, hygiene kits, and canned food have benefitted recipients from low-income families to veterans and homeless.

High Net Worth Insurance Specialist

Northwestern Mutual

I help successful professionals, families, and bussinesses prepare for the future. My approach and practice is balanced between wealth accumulation and risk management. It includes creating "big picture" financial plans, preparing for retirement, estate planning and wealth transfer, funding children's education, and insulating your assets from premature death, disability, or a long term care need.

I take special interest in the tax implications of particular strategies, technical analysis, and behavioral finance.
