I am the founder and principal of Watershed Wealth Planning LLC. My clients have concerns that are more unique than "retirement" or "college planning," such as: How do we travel internationally every year without compromising our long-term plan? As someone who has traveled to 33 countries in my 48 years, I love helping clients answer these types of questions.
When meeting with people for the first time, the question I get more than any other is why did you give up a career as an attorney to become a financial planner? Practicing bankruptcy law exposed me to the countless stories of clients who had enjoyed success early in their career only to experience financial hardship as they neared retirement age. As I began to recognize the patterns of poor planning, I realized that I could have a more positive impact working with people as they make key decisions about how to save and invest. As a proactive planner, I now get to watch clients build their ideal life while helping to increase their probability of sustained success.*
