The moment that changed everything

Eighteen years ago, my brother lost his wife in a tragic accident. They had been married one year. He had a six-month-old daughter. In an instant, the future they were building together was gone. We had some safeguards in place, but not everything.

"It's about helping people prepare for life's most difficult moments with thoughtful planning, safeguards, and preparation."

Why I built RPM Financial Group

I started my career in financial services in 1999 and spent years watching hardworking professionals, specifically government contractors and federal employees, get generic advice that didn't account for the complexity of their lives.

I founded RPM Financial Group in 2022 to serve people who deserved better than a template. Plans built for the way Gov-Con and cybersecurity families actually live.

Outside the office

I live in Rockville, Maryland with my wife Kristin and our three kids: Maggie, Jack, and Kate. The sandwich generation juggle is something I navigate too, every single day. That matters to how I do this work.

D1
Discover
We start by understanding what financial success actually looks like for your family, not a generic retirement age, but the specific goals and lifestyle you're working toward.
D2
Design
We build a strategy around your goals, your Gov-Con income structure, your family obligations, and your timeline. Not a template, a plan built specifically for you.
D3
Deploy
We implement the plan, stay accountable with you, and update it in real-time as your life changes. A plan that sits in a drawer isn't a plan.
