Our Story | Sage Street Wealth

Our Name

Sage

A person who offers counsel, guidance, and compassion.

When I was 18, my dad passed away unexpectedly. He was a dedicated business owner, and his foresight in having a financial plan in place made a profoundly difficult time much easier for my family. This experience inspired me to become a financial planner. The name "Sage" honors both my dad for his wisdom and the sages who guided me after he was gone — a constant reminder of our core purpose: to provide the same wise guidance and dedication to our clients that was given to me and my family.

Street

Where daily life happens — the grit, the grind, the hustle.

The "Street" represents the practical, boots-on-the-ground reality of our clients' lives. I vividly remember my dad at his boat business, bringing multiple clean shirts to work, only for them to be covered in sweat, dirt, and grime by day's end. It reminds us that our work isn't just about numbers — it's about understanding the tangible lives and aspirations of the ambitious business owners and entrepreneurs we serve. I am on the street with my clients, hustling to help ensure their financial success.

At Sage Street Wealth, we believe your life's vision should be at the center of your financial plan. We're dedicated to understanding your unique purpose, helping you align your wealth with it, and empowering you to spend more time doing what you truly love.

What We Do

We believe in comprehensive planning and coordinated execution.

Financial Planning

We build a comprehensive blueprint for your life — cash flow, risk management, taxes, investments, retirement, and legacy — so everything works together to support what matters most.

Investment Portfolio Management

We carefully learn your goals, then aim your investment strategy at reaching them. Portfolios are aligned to your timeline and cash needs, with disciplined rebalancing instead of headline-chasing.

Tax Minimization Strategies

Rather than simply reacting at tax time, we work to proactively optimize your tax situation throughout the year. We can coordinate directly with your CPA for seamless execution. We don't prepare or file tax returns.

Business Owner Cash-Flow Cadence

For seasonal or project-based income, we build a deliberate plan around your business cycles so peak weeks fund quiet months — with a clear rhythm for payroll, owner-pay, taxes, and reserves.

Retirement Plans for Owners & Employees

We evaluate options from traditional 401(k)s to ROTH, cash-balance, SIMPLE, or SEP plans. We map funding to your business cycles and coordinate setup with your chosen custodian.

Insurance Strategies & Coverage

As licensed insurance professionals, we evaluate whether insurance tools — like life, guaranteed income, disability, or long-term care — fit your plan. You're always free to place coverage elsewhere.

Legacy Coordination with Financial and Legal Professionals

Yes, we can coordinate with your CPA and attorney. We loop them in early, agree on roles, and share summaries so everyone stays on the same page.
