David has been helping clients reach their long-term financial goals since 2006. A Certified Financial Planner® (CFP®), and Certified Financial Fiduciary (CF2®), he brings nearly two decades of experience in financial planning.
He has a passion for helping people make smart financial choices to achieve their goals and live their best life and makes a point to truly listen and understand each client’s values, goals, and fears. David specializes in helping high-performing professionals pay fewer taxes, protect their loved ones, build wealth, and retire on their own terms.
He works closely with clients nearing retirement, as well as new or current retirees, to create tax-efficient income strategies.
“As a financial fiduciary, I always act in your best interest and focus on your specific needs. I have a proven track record of helping clients identify and mitigate financial risks, protect and grow their assets, and navigate market downturns.”
Beyond one-on-one planning, David is passionate about financial education. He leads both in-person and online workshops designed to empower clients to make confident, informed financial decisions.
Born in Newport Beach and raised in Huntington Beach, California, David is a true Southern California native. He earned a bachelor’s degree in communications and history from UC Davis, where he also competed in Division II college athletics.
“We are only as strong as our community,” says David, who places a central focus on giving back. He has volunteered with Ronald McDonald House, the South County Food Bank, and served as a member of Kiwanis.
Outside of his professional and volunteer work, David’s life is full of energy and exploration. When he’s not helping clients plan their financial future, he’s planning punchlines to bring to the stage as a stand-up comic.
He also enjoys spending time with his wife and two kids, traveling, attending music festivals, and embracing outdoor adventures like snowboarding, surfing, and skateboarding. The same values that guide his work, trustworthiness, empathy, honesty, and experience, are central to how he lives his life, shaping the way he connects with people both personally and professionally.
