ABOUT TREVOR

Retirement Planning With a Tax Perspective

I founded Aligned Retirement Planners to help individuals and families navigate the financial decisions surrounding retirement with greater clarity and confidence.

Retirement planning is about more than investments. Taxes, Social Security, retirement income, estate considerations and your investment strategy all affect one another.

As both a CPA and financial advisor, I help bring those pieces together into one coordinated plan. My goal is to keep the process straightforward and personal, helping you understand your options, make informed decisions and stay on track as life changes.
