Founder and CEO
I am a fiduciary adviser and financial coach. Over 15 years I have dedicated my practice to helping Silicon Valley professionals, entrepreneurs and their families discover their true purpose for money and for their lives, transforming everything about their experience of investing. I focus on advanced financial planning, tax insights, corporate financial education, retirement and investment planning.
Hello,
Thank you for visiting Wealth Cairn.
​
One of my favorite pastime is backpacking in the wilderness. With the cool breeze, mountain fresh air, towering redwoods and that faint smell of the moss, what a poetic way to experience nature's wonders.
​
If you spend enough time in the wildness you are bound to get lost. Trails are often poorly marked or not marked at all. Below treeline it is often a dizzying experience finding directions. Above treeline, rocks conceal trails, footprints, and markings.
Cairns are rock piles that are left by those who came before you and mark the paths that lead you back to the trail. When you are lost, hungry and worried at the end of the day finding a cairn is one of the best feelings.
​
When I created this investment advisory I thought of the image of Cairn, the way it leads you to your own discovery, the feeling of relief and confidence is such a perfect representation of the mission we are on - to guide you to the discovery of your own financial success.
​
Investment and personal finance is often a confusing, frustrating experience full of guesswork. The financial service industry itself has made it worse by making speculation and gambling widely available now on your mobile device. We've seen millions of wealth wiped away during a market downturn.
​
Come on this journey with us. Learn from our workshops and find one of our coaches to start a conversation on your personal finance. We are committed to guiding you every step along the way and your success.
