Who we work with from New York
Entertainment & Creative
For people working in entertainment and the creative industries — actors, writers, directors, producers, musicians, and the founders and executives around them — where income is irregular and project-based, and the tax structure behind it matters as much as the number on the check.
Business Owners
For business owners whose personal and financial lives are closely connected to the companies they have built.
Physicians & Medical Professionals
For physicians, dentists, and other medical professionals, years of training can create a financial path that looks different from a traditional career — often bringing higher income, student debt, and more complex decisions at the same time.
Families & Legacy
For families thinking about the people they care about today, the generations that follow, and the legacy they hope to build along the way.
Questions people ask first
Do you work with clients in other states?
Yes. The offices are in Calabasas and New York, but the relationship isn't limited to either. Meetings can be held remotely, and clients who relocate change nothing about it.
How often will we meet after the plan is built?
As often as you want it — and at least once a year regardless. The meetings that matter most are the ones tied to something real: a new role, a move, a birth, a business sale, a liquidity event. Tell us one is coming and we will make the time for it. And if a quiet year goes by, you will still hear from us, because plans go stale quietly and the review is what keeps that from happening.
Are you affiliated with Northwestern Mutual?
I am a representative of Northwestern Mutual — which means their planning, investment, insurance and trust capabilities are available to you.
Do I need a certain amount of money to work with you?
There is no stated minimum. Some of the most valuable work happens early — with a physician finishing residency, or someone about to see their first meaningful equity vest — when the decisions still compound.
The rest are on the FAQ page.
Start where you are.
We’ll talk about what matters to you, understand where things stand today, and explore how thoughtful financial guidance can support the future you’re building. It’s simply a conversation to see how we can help.
