Founder + Principal
I’m a financial coach who will educate, support and steer you through the obstacles that keep you from making tough financial decisions.
I have more than 30 years of experience bringing seasoned financial planning and investment advice to busy professional clients and their families.
Formerly I was a Partner Advisor at AdvicePeriod and ran the San Francisco office. As both a Director of Investment Planning and a Director of Financial Planning for two Bay Area Registered Investment Advisory firms, I bring years of experience in investing and financial planning. Earlier in my career, I held several senior positions in the Federal government, including at the Office of Management and Budget, Executive Office of the President.
I am a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ and hold a Master’s degree in Economics from George Washington University. I’m an active member of the San Francisco Financial Planning Association, the San Francisco Bar Association, and the San Francisco Estate Planning Association.
Among my specialties is providing a “financial concierge service”, customized to the needs of lawyers. After almost two decades of working with partners in top tier law firms across the country, I understand the demands lawyers face and their financial issues. I consult with hundreds of law firm partners across the country from West Coast to East Coast.
In my spare time, I enjoy volunteering as a docent naturalist at Año Nuevo State Reserve, an elephant seal rookery on the California Coast, hiking in the Sierra Nevada, and birding around the world.
Senior Advisor
As a member of the team, my focus is developing long-lasting relationships centered around fiduciary advice. I believe every plan is built around a rigorously researched and meticulously implemented investment portfolio.
I joined Katherine and Joshua because I saw their dedication to creating planning-centric relationships with their clients.

I believe every plan is built around a rigorously researched and meticulously implemented investment portfolio. Prior to Conquis, I was a senior financial advisor at Summitry, a Bay Area registered investment advisor (RIA) with $2B in assets under management.
I am a Certified Financial Planner® member of the Foundation for Financial Planning, as well as a CFP® Board Mentor. I received my degree from the University of California, Davis. I’ve worked across the advisory industry, with a focus on developing technology-forward solutions for clients.
My specialty is helping individuals and families navigate the complexities of equity-based compensation. From Series A to public companies, I’ve helped clients navigate decisions around concentrated positions, providing tax-efficient solutions to help them preserve wealth.
I enjoy helping our clients make significant progress in diversifying their wealth and turning their hard work into successful financial outcomes.
Outside of work, I enjoy gardening, cooking, and traveling the California coast with my wife and our Boston Terrier.
