Translating Goals Into Reality

As a financial professional dedicated to helping my clients in the creation and maintenance of personal financial security, my greatest strength is my ability to help people translate their financial goals into concrete terms; the goal of a comfortable retirement; the goal of education for their children; the goal of starting a business or successfully transferring it to their heirs.

I accomplish this through my association with AXA Advisors, LLC, by offering appropriate strategies to client needs, combined with a high degree of personalized service.

I have been a financial professional with AXA Advisors since 1987 and an active member of the San Diego Community. I focus on "goal oriented" quality investment and insurance strategies that seek to help you maximize personal wealth and minimize taxes.

In the constantly changing world of financial services, one cannot overstate the importance of keeping current with breaking political, legal, and economic developments. To do so, I regularly attend industry training and certification programs, and have completed the curriculum and passed the rigorous exams for the following professional designations:

    • CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional
    • Chartered Life Underwriter (CLU)professional designation of the American College
    • Chartered Financial Consultant (ChFC)professional designation of the American College
    • FINRA Registration: Series 6, 7, 63 and 65
    • California Insurance License #0717307

My Academic achievements include:

    • A Bachelor of Arts Degree in Economics from The University of Michigan

Maintaining a strong sense of community and a solid professional foundation are very important to me. My community activity and professional affiliations include:

    • Copley Family YMCA Current Board Member
    • Pro Kids Golf (Mentor & Girls Mentoring Committee)
    • Volunteer San Diego (Past Board President)
    • United Way Of San Diego County (Past Board Member and Past Chair of Leadership Giving)

HOT TOPIC: Why Watch the Employment Situation

Labor reports showed some signs of improvement in the second half of 2011. This article takes a closer look at the official reports that track employment, factors that held back job creation after the recession officially ended, and whether recent gains are enough to spark more robust growth.

Favorable Dividend and Capital Gains Tax Rates Extended—for Now

The 2010 Tax Relief Act extended the 15% maximum tax rates on qualified dividends and long-term capital gains through December 31, 2012. But without further legislation, dividends will be taxed at ordinary income tax rates and capital gains tax rates will return to 20% (23.8% for investors in the two highest tax brackets) in 2013.

HOT TOPIC: Current Economic Conditions and the Prospect for Inflation

Inflation jumped up to 3.2% in April. That’s still below the 50-year average but it may be little consolation for anyone who has been to a gas station or a grocery store recently.

New Opportunity Under the Federal Gift Tax

The 2010 Tax Relief Act raised the lifetime gift-tax exclusion to $5 million. This means it could be a good time to make the most of tax-free gift transfers. If so, it's important to understand the annual and lifetime gift exemption limits, as well as which gifts might not be subject to them.
