Wealth Management & Investing

Tax & Estate planning for Families, Business Owners, and Executives

When financial decisions become interconnected, families need more than investment management. They need coordination, strategy, and a trusted advisor who can see the entire picture.

The Firehorse Story

Why Firehorse?

Fire horse Strategic

Firehorse was founded in the Year of the Firehorse, a year that occurs only once every sixty years in the Chinese calendar. It is known as a time when years of preparation, discipline, and effort finally come together when plans become reality and meaningful transformation takes place.

After more than three decades helping families navigate wealth, taxes, estate planning, business transitions, and life's biggest decisions, Firehorse represents the culmination of everything I have worked toward.

But Firehorse is not just my story.

My belief is that every year should be a Year of the Firehorse for my clients a year where important goals move from ideas to action, where opportunities are pursued intentionally, and where wealth becomes a tool to support the life and legacy they envision.

Bringing Everything Together


Most successful families have investments, tax strategies, estate planning documents, insurance policies, business interests, charitable goals, and family legacy considerations.

The challenge is ensuring all of those moving pieces work together.
