Both David and Zach work as a team with each of their clients and are very passionate about the difference they can make before, in and through their client’s retirement. They have helped many people retire without worry or concern because of the plans they have put into place for them.

They feel that every client deserves to have a plan for retirement tailored just for them. This is why they spend so much time getting to know their clients’ needs, wants, desires, personality type and more before creating a customized approach that will be best suited for them.

His days are spent working as the co-founding advisor of Milestone Wealth Advisors, but his nights and weekends are reserved for his wife Sullivan, friends, family, and 3 pups Missy, Sadie, and Gauge.
