About

Blake runs an independent, nationwide practice that primarily utilizes web-based meetings while also maintaining the importance of face-to-face trust. Blake’s practice is focused on helping physicians, dentists, business owners, and high-income families work toward financial independence. His role is to translate clients’ dreams and goals into an attainable road map that can then be implemented via the course of a life-long relationship. Blake and his team monitor progress and help clients make important financial decisions with confidence. Seeing clients empowered by their finances is by far the most rewarding part for Blake!

His process uses creative problem solving, a high level of expertise, and a transparent fee structure to conduct in-depth analysis before any recommendations are made. He provides his clients with a personalized and detailed action plan, and then periodically reviews it to hold them accountable. With this level of detail, his team only accepts a select group of new comprehensive advisory clients per year. His services are designed to be “white glove” so our clients can focus on their passions and family!

Blake’s ideal client is committed to working together with his team for measurable financial progress. Blake runs his practice with an open-door policy, encouraging clients to bounce ideas off him and utilize his guidance throughout the year.
