Focused and Ready To Work For Us
John listened carefully to and addressed our most pressing decisions regarding multiple pension options and was able to weigh in thoughtfully on questions regarding RMDs and Roth concerns while being a pleasure to speak with.
Productive First Meeting
I've never used a financial advisor before but wanted guidance on the best way to begin withdrawing from my brokerage after a job loss. John was very helpful in getting to know my situation and then offering suggestions on the best way to proceed. He walked me through how to make the withdrawal and the tax impact. We really maximized the hour and covered a lot of topics. He was supportive of my goals and I never felt pressured to buy or do a certain thing. I'll most likely book with him again once or twice a year.

John was well prepared for our call. I enjoyed speaking to him and getting thoughtful insights on my retirement outlook. I will continue to work with John after our initial meeting.
straightforward
My wife and I met with John about Roth Conversions, Tax implications and IRMAA fees. He looked at the data we sent ahead of time and the fundamental question and confirmed our research with a few new insights. That was just what we were looking for.
Excellent!
John came into the meeting well-prepared. He had studied the material we uploaded ahead of time and was very clear on the questions we had laid out for our one-hour meeting. We were impressed by his depth of knowledge and his communication skills. And he sent an impressively thorough email summarizing our meeting. We will be scheduling with him again.
John was well prepared for the meeting
John was well prepared for our conversation, easy to talk with and answered all my questions. He helped me see different strategies that I hadn't considered which will make a big difference moving forward. I would recommend him to anyone looking for financial advice.
