About

Marcus proudly works with many physician & dental families, building long-term, family-focused relationships. Starting in 2009, he was fortunate to be a founding member of The Lone Star Division within North Star and to be mentored by Senior Vice President Shaun McDuffee, where he learned to build a specialty financial planning practice for these families.

His goal is to understand clients’ dreams and goals so they can be translated into an actionable road map and be acted on with confidence. By taking the time to understand each physician’s individual background and current situation, he uses creative problem solving to construct a custom-tailored financial plan with a personalized and detailed action plan to be reviewed regularly for accountability. His goal is to help physicians see the bigger picture by addressing both their short and long-term goals through coaching, clear communication, and regular updates relevant to both their unique career paths and the financial industry.

He grew his practice in Texas and the Midwest and now focuses on remote advising, providing holistic, comprehensive financial planning for the medical community specializing in aspects like wealth accumulation, tax efficient planning, asset protection, and financial education to empower his clients. His ideal client is someone who desires to work together with a financial advisor long-term, has an outlook of hope for the future, commits to learning, and bettering their financial situation.
