About Devin
Bio
Hi, I'm Devin! My journey into financial planning began with a college personal finance class that sparked my passion for helping others take charge of their financial futures. I find GREAT JOY in providing clients with an actionable plan, so they can move forward confidently with their finances . A career highlight has been working with physicians and training physicians (residents) to build a strong financial foundation. Clients often express gratitude for the guidance and look forward to our meetings. Whether navigating career changes, growing your family, or preparing for retirement, I simplify complex financial concepts into clear steps. I know personal finances can be overwhelming, but my goal is to create a welcoming space where you feel empowered and confident. I look forward to helping you align your financial goals with your values and what matters most!

Skilled advisor
Devin was a great listener and thoughtful advisor. We were able to cover a lot of ground during our hour long appointment. I'm a CFP myself and really valued his opinion and approach to my questions. I'm glad I ran my questions by Devin and would recommend him to others.
More gentle reassurance and attention to details
I recently completed my second one-hour session with Devin --AFTER also working on THE PLAN with him over one year ago. I appreciate his perspective. I learned that things I thought I made mistakes with --- I didn't. AND--things I thought I handled correctly, I actually missed something. I needed some reassurance about current events that were scaring me. I appreciate the support from Devin while I am still learning and growing my financial knowledge and confidence. We touched on so many topics in this one-hour session! I appreciate the meeting summary notes to keep me on track with my action items. Thank you again!

Devin was very focused, effective, extremely helpful and pleasantly kind. I felt very supported and left our meeting with the information and guidance I needed. I am glad I made the decision to meet with him and would return again in the future.

Thanks Ernesto. It was great working with you, and I'm glad to have helped you and your family plan for the exciting life transition. Talk with you soon!
A good check in
We were interested in checking in with an advisor to see the health of our finances and answer some specific questions. Devin was very good at listening to the questions and details of our finances. He gave good actionable advice with a detailed follow up email as well. Would recommend Devin for your financial check up!

Thank you, Ryan!
Ryan, thank you so much for booking a meeting with me! I enjoyed our conversation and I'm glad I was able to help.
Second meeting with Devin
This was my second time meeting with Devin. It is evident that he is not only offers financial expertise but understands the impact on families of financial decisions. As with our prior meeting, we discussed the Roth IRA, performance of my investment accounts, general estate planning goals (in particular the process of making equitable distributions to my children), and the possibility of contracting with Nectarine for a second opinion on the complex investments used by other family members. I'd recommend Devin for any financial advice, and found it to be a relaxed, pleasant experience.
Thank you, John!

Devin was so helpful, helping us to organize our thoughts around a whole range of topics, even though we weren't particularly well organized ourselves. We came away with a good list of next steps for everything.
Knowledgeable, Constructive, and Reassuring
I had an excellent 1-hour session with Devin, and I highly recommend his services. I came into the meeting with one primary goal, and we thoroughly examined the topic. Devin’s knowledge in this specific area gave me the exact assurance and clarity I needed to confidently execute the plan I had developed. Beyond our main focus, we also reviewed other areas of my financial plan. Devin provided valuable feedback and gently pushed back on a few specific points that required more consideration—insight I am very grateful for. Overall, I was thoroughly happy with Devin’s expertise, professional demeanor, and helpfulness.
Jonathan, thank you!
