Why I built
Silicon Beach
My journey in finance has influenced the way I think, act and invest on behalf of my clients. I started out thinking I had to look and be just like everyone else to succeed. The cookie-cutter army of men in suits seemed like the only route. But over time, I learned that my biggest asset was what makes me unique – my history, my background, my family. So, I created a firm that allowed me to put my values in action.
My goal is to help my clients reach the life they want, whatever that looks like.
