Biografía

I specialize in helping: Pre-retirees (0–5 years out) who want to know if they can retire—and how to do it right. I also enjoy working with DIY investors who want a second opinion on their investment portfolios 401ks, IRA, Brokerage accounts etc. In our work together, we focus on the decisions that actually move the needle: *When can you retire—and what needs to happen first *How to turn your portfolio into reliable income *When to take Social Security (and how it impacts taxes) *How to reduce taxes over time with smart withdrawal and Roth strategies *How to simplify your investments into something you can actually stick with. Some clients come to me for a one-time session to get clarity. Others want ongoing support as they move to and through retirement.

Lo personal

Colorado

I started my career in engineering but found investing fascinating. I made a career shift to the financial world early in life and never looked back. I'm married with two teenagers who are complete opposites. One is artsy, the other is sporty. I enjoy mountain biking and fly fishing when not attending my kids' events. My favorite books are How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie, On the Road by Jack Kerouac, and Poor Charlie's Almanac by Charlie Munger, Grover Gardener.

My situation was unique, and Arik had solutions

My situation was unique, but Arik was quick with some great ideas I had not thought of. He is friendly and knowledgeable. Not pushy, and no sales pitches of any kind. Refreshing to see in a financial advisor. I liked him so much, I agreed to hire him con a quarterly basis to keep me on track and to have a sounding board for the future. I highly recommend.

So helpful!

I am retiring in less than a year and have been going in circles trying to sort through the complexities of transitioning to retirement. Arik was friendly, prepared, positive, and a great communicator. He shifted my perspective on some decisions I was contemplating. Following his advice is likely to improve my financial situation for decades to come. He suggested actionable strategies and provided a well-organized to-do list in his meeting summary. I met with him yesterday and have already implemented several of his suggestions. He was that clear! I will book with him again should the need arise and send friends his way in the meantime.

Our session with Arik was everything we wanted and hoped for. He was prepared, knowledgeable and a real pleasure to talk to. He followed up with notes about what we discussed so we didn't need to scxribble notes or rely on our memory. I feel so much better about our situation after talking with a professional who only had my needs in mind. I have already recommended him to several friends. Thank you Arik and Nectarine for providing a truly valuable service.

Money well spent

Arik was so solid. He was well-prepared and insightful. He asked the right questions and listened to our thoughts and input. He wasn’t dead set on one investment style. We brought a unique investing strategy to our meeting. Arik listened, shared his honest opinions and was able to pivot when faced with an unexpected and difficult scenario. We appreciated his frankness. He shared strategies that aligned with his beliefs and encouraged us to explore those types of values in our investing so our decisions matched our hopes and dreams. We left with some great takeaways. It was money well spent.
