Bespoke Planning for Builders & Physicians

The Philosophy

Personalized advice,
no templates.

Standard financial planning is built for the masses. It's built on templates, generalized models, and mediocre outcomes.

I serve people with

The decision of when to exercise stock options is one of the most consequential financial choices a startup employee will make. Here's a framework for thinking about it clearly — without the panic.
