Sam Lee
Wealth Management Advisor
I work with tech professionals and business owners navigating complex financial decisions, from equity compensation and concentrated stock positions to major liquidity events and long-term wealth planning.
Most of my clients aren’t starting from zero, they’re already doing well. The challenge isn’t access to opportunity; it’s seeking to make sure everything is working together.
My focus is simple: bring structure and clarity to moving pieces that often feel fragmented. That means aligning investment strategy, tax considerations and risk management into a coordinated plan designed to evolve as life and income change.
Many of the people with whom I work are in periods of rapid growth: building careers, businesses and balance sheets at the same time. The goal isn’t just optimization on paper, but creating a framework that allows them to make confident, intentional decisions without unnecessary complexity.
Planning isn’t just about optimizing spreadsheets. It’s about aligning money with values. That requires me to understand fears, ambitions, family dynamics and life experiences, not just inputs and outputs.
Outside the office I enjoy golfing, playing basketball, going to the shooting range and making sure my chocolate lab isn’t eating my socks (not sure if I actually enjoy this last part).

Simon Goldin
Wealth Management Advisor
Most people don’t need help picking stocks.
They need help making smart financial decisions consistently—especially when life gets complicated.
My clients typically are high-income professionals, engineers and business owners who are doing well financially but are asking bigger questions like:
“Am I investing the right way for my long-term goals?”
“How do I reduce my tax burden over time?”
“Will I be financially secure if I change careers, move or retire early?”
“Am I making decisions today that I’ll regret 10-20 years from now?”
That’s where comprehensive financial planning comes in.
I work with clients to bring structure and clarity to their financial lives by integrating:
Investment Management
Tax-Efficient Planning
Retirement Strategy
Estate Planning
Risk Management
Cash Flow & Liquidity Planning
The goal isn’t just to grow your portfolio—it’s to help you make informed decisions so your money might support your life, career flexibility and long-term security. As a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® professional, I focus on building long-term partnerships with clients who want a thoughtful, strategic approach to managing their wealth over time.
I earned my Bachelor of Science in Financial Planning & Services from San Diego State University. Outside of the office, I enjoy surfing, golfing, snowboarding and training for triathlons and marathons.
