Profession(s)

Financial Professional

With over three decades of experience in business valuations and financial analysis, I bring deep expertise to collaborative divorce as a financial neutral. Throughout my career, I've guided more than 500 small businesses through complex financial decisions and transitions. As a certified Profit Mastery facilitator and former university financial instructor, I excel at making complex financial concepts accessible to all parties involved in collaborative divorce.

My experience helps couples understand their complete financial picture and explore creative solutions that serve both parties' interests. I'm particularly passionate about the collaborative process because it allows families to maintain control of their financial future while demonstrating healthy conflict resolution to their children.

I would welcome the opportunity to serve as a financial neutral on your collaborative teams, bringing my extensive business valuation expertise and dedication to helping families navigate this challenging transition with dignity and financial clarity.
