Plan Your Next Chapter With Confidence
After decades of building, leading and delivering, the transition out is the one move most people underestimate. I work with a small number of clients to help them think through what comes next - financially, professionally and personally - before it's urgent.

Why Work With Me
I have spent more than thirty years building and managing businesses across the United States, Europe and Asia. I was twice named Ernst & Young Hawaii Entrepreneur of the Year. More important for this work, I have also lived through early retirement, the loss of professional identity, a return to smaller ventures and major international moves.
I do not sell financial products, and I do not approach retirement as a standard formula. I offer independent perspective, direct questions and practical support grounded in experience.
