Music • Money • Entrepreneurship
Build a life you don't have to choose between.
Music, money, entrepreneurship and the pursuit of a life built on your own terms.
Introduction
Two worlds. One life.
I'm a Nashville recording artist, songwriter, financial advisor and entrepreneur. I've spent my career around education, music, business and financial planning.
What I've learned is that creative ambition and financial success don't have to exist in separate worlds.
This site brings those worlds together.

Build the career.
Protect the future.
Musicians, artists, entertainers and creative professionals face a financial life most advisors were never trained for. I've lived on both sides of it.
Irregular income
Royalties, gigs and sessions rarely arrive on a schedule.
Multiple revenue streams
Streaming, sync, merch, teaching, touring — each with its own rhythm.
Unique tax considerations
1099s, deductions and quarterly estimates most people never think about.
Limited employer benefits
No HR department handing you health coverage or a 401(k) match.
Unusual retirement challenges
No pension, no clear finish line — so the plan has to be yours.
