I became a financial advisor in Washington, DC to help other Millennial parents turn their savings into memories with their kids

Financial Advisor in Washington, DC • Husband • Millennial Father

Few things bring me more joy than sharing my favorite parts of life with my kids. But I reached a point at which uncertainty about how much we should save for the future threatened to limit what we spend now on vacations, camps, and other memorable activities.

As a fee-only financial advisor in Washington, DC, I've worked exclusively with Millennials since 2017. And I've learned that many women share my previous questions about spending, saving, and investing. So I've focused my education & practice over the past nine years on this specific set of decisions.

Now, I want to empower Millennial women in Washington, DC to use their money in ways that improve their life – without stressing about the future & the uncertainty of our finances.

Your Financial Guide... And, At Times, Therapist

This "About Me" really shouldn't be about me.

It should be about you. That's why we're here, after all. Still, you may want to hear a little bit about who I am. How else can you know that you've found a financial advisor who really gets you?

I have two young kids.

There, that's probably the most important detail I can share. Why? Because I've personally experienced how money changes as you build a family. The stakes feel higher. The stress, the FOMO, the uncertainty – it all weighs on you a bit more. 

That's why I'm here. That's why I founded this company.

I call this "financial planning for Millennials" to signal what you should expect from me. I want to emphasize that I'm ready to meet you where you're at in life.

Housing questions? Student loans? Childcare costs? Inheritance decisions? Yep, all fair game. These aren't traditional financial planning tasks. But I imagine you'd like to talk through them.

I'm a financial advisor in Washington, DC. I've seen the tough decisions that come with a high cost of living. I live in DC, too. So like you, I've had to navigate a pricey housing market and expensive childcare.

If you've noticed that I've picked up a few awards along the way, great. But that's not why you should work with me.

We'll mesh well if you want to make financial planning about you. About who you really want to be. And about what you want for your future.

What else can I tell you?

I have a Q&A page here. You also can feel free to e-mail me at kevin@illumintfc.com. And of course, there's always LinkedIn if you want to read the boring bio.  ;-)
