About Phil
Bio
Hi I'm Phil and I love to talk about finances! Before I got into this industry I was sold a completely unnecessary whole-life policy. I was in massive student loan debt and had a large car payment for my salary at the time. After that, I realized not all advisors look out for your best interest. I hope to help change that. I am a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ and I can help break down the financial jargon into simplified concepts so you can make informed financial decisions. I cannot wait to see how I can help you!

Adjust or not to adjust?
He asked questions to see what my plan was for retirement. He checked my investments to see if there were areas I could change strategies to improve my return on investments. He gave me advice on my thoughts for making new investments.
Patient and Practical
We had such an incredible appointment with Phil! My husband and I were all over the place with our questions and not on the same page as far as our goals. After meeting with Phil we both felt like we had a plan and were now aligned. He was so patient with us. Gave us honest, practical feedback and guidance. We have a to do list and are going to meet with Phil again soon. THANK YOU!
Thorough, accurate, pleasant to work with.

Beneficial Meeting
Phil was very knowledgeable about the questions that I came to the meeting with. He was able to explain everything so that I could easily understand everything that we talked about.
