Bio

Hi, I'm Adam! I've always had a passion for personal finance, but was frustrated by an industry mostly filled with salespeople focused on helping the rich get richer, while everyone else struggled. I've spent the last 20 years trying to pave a different path by providing accessible financial advice to those in need. I primarily work with pre-retirees and retirees navigating the transition from building wealth to living off of it. I help with retirement income, investment and withdrawal strategies, Social Security, Roth conversions, and tax planning. I also enjoy working with millennials, Gen X, and FIRE enthusiasts navigating the "messy middle" of life, including buying a home, saving for kid's college, or DIY investing. I offer hourly, one-time, and ongoing financial planning. Whether you're figuring out when you can retire, how much you can spend, or want a second opinion, I can’t wait to learn more about your goals and help you create a plan to accomplish them!

Charlotte, NC

When I’m not immersed in the world of finance, you can usually find me enjoying our family movie nights every Friday, weekly date nights with my amazing wife Andrea, playing chess with my oldest son, or riding bikes/taking a walk with my youngest son. When we’re fortunate enough to get away, I love to travel to the mountains or save up for a big vacation to the Caribbean.

Adam’s advice was exactly what I needed

My session with Adam was exactly what I needed. I was able to give him a clear synopsis of my assets and my life picture, and he was able to clearly and directly advise me and answer my questions. I will definitely use the nectarine platform and work with Adam again in the future.

Adam worked with the information we gave and was very thorough, helping us think about potentially selling our house and buying a new house. He also managed to give us several straightforward “just do it” pointers for our overall portfolio. We now have a long list of next steps and plan to reach out again once we are through with those

Adam was extremely helpful and knowledgeable . The best $$$ we have ever spent on financial advice. He explained to us in an hour what other financial advisors have never even mentioned to us. If you want a no nonsense approach and easy to understand evaluation of your portfolio - he is definitely the guy. I would recommend him to family and friends which I never would do with my past advisors.

Get started yesterday!

I first met with Adam just to get more in depth perspective on questions I had. I had worked with three different financial advisors over the years who managed my money and took their cut. And they mostly had a "trust me" approach though they would answer questions if asked. As I got older and asset levels increased, I wanted to go deeper on tax implications, retirement planning, and to better wrap my arms around our financial picture. After one hour with Adam, I knew he was what I had been wanting all along. He helped me transition to managing my own investments, answers questions via email in a very timely manner, and I know he will be trusted partner as we work towards retirement in the coming years. He's a perfect balance between cost and value, vs what we paying before as a % of assets. I recommend him whenever and wherever I can!

Retirement Lifestyle

I really enjoy working with Adam and feel very fortunate to have found someone I trust. Adam is knowledgeable, thoughtful, and professional, but what I appreciate most is how well he listens and takes the time to understand what is important to me. My retirement plan truly feels like my plan—built around my goals, needs, and the lifestyle I want to enjoy. I also love the objectivity the hourly fee structure offers. I feel more confident about my finances and the decisions I’m making for retirement. My partner and I meet with Adam every quarter to review the plan and take any necessary actions. I highly recommend him!

Another great session with Adam He discussed all the topics I sent him before the meeting I’ve had several sessions with Adam and they are always spot on including his follow up email of action items.

Clarity Given

Adam was so incredibly patient with us and thorough. He made sure what we wanted addressed in the time was. He spoke in financial layman terms so we could understand. He wrote out exactly what we should do next and sent us the steps. We believe he went above and beyond with the information we gave him. We waited to get an appointment with him and it was WORTH it!

Great experience with a financial planner

This was my first time meeting with a financial planner, and I’m really glad I met Adam. He was patience, easy to talk to, and took the time to really listen and understand my situation. He helped me think through my retirement goals and pointed out a few things I hadn’t considered in my current portfolio. I would definitely recommend taking the time to meet with Adam and review your financial plan.
