How I can help

Bring me your investment and planning needs.

Together we’ll develop a plan designed to meet your goals — and adjust it as your life changes.

Financial Planning

A clear, written roadmap that ties your income, savings, investments and goals together in one place.

Investment Management

Portfolios built around your timeline and comfort with risk, and monitored so they stay that way.

Risk Management

Protecting what you've built with the right mix of insurance and strategies for life's surprises.

Retirement Planning

Knowing when you can retire, how to turn savings into income, and how to make it last.

Legacy & Estate Strategies

Passing on your values and assets the way you intend, working alongside your attorney and CPA.

Planning for Major Purchases

A home, a boat, a business — saving for the big things without derailing the long-term plan.

My process

A disciplined approach, built around you.

Every plan starts with listening. From there, I follow the same proven four-step process with every client.

01

Assess

We take an honest look at where you are today — income, assets, obligations and what keeps you up at night.

02

Prioritize

We set goals and put them in order, so the most important things get funded first.

03

Weigh Trade-offs

Every choice has a cost. We evaluate the options side by side so you can decide with clarity.

04

Implement & Review

We put the strategy to work, then meet regularly to rebalance and keep you on track.

Meet Charles

Rooted in Tallahassee. Committed to your well-being.

I grew up in Tallahassee, graduated from Florida State, and have spent my entire career helping people in this community make smart decisions with their money.

I’ve earned the Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor® designation, and I serve as past Chairman and current Trustee of the Tallahassee Quarterback Club Foundation. When I’m not in the office, you’ll probably find me outdoors or out on the water.
