Hi, I’m Ed. I’m a firefighter turned financial planner (CFP®) turned marriage and family financial therapist and I know a lot about walking into high-intensity situations, navigating “the flames,” and walking everyone out safely.

With both formal education and personal experience in resolving conflicts, managing finances, developing emotional intimacy, and understanding family systems, I’m an informed and empathetic guide along your love and money journey. My goal is to help couples uncover and understand the roots underlying their financial conflicts and move towards financial intimacy.

Financial Planning + Financial Therapy + Couples Counseling = Healthy Love and Money.

THREE THINGS ABOUT ME

I’m a proud papa to three energetic boys and have been in a long-term marriage with my beautiful wife for over a decade.

I enjoy mountain biking and hiking.
