Financial advisor in Washington, DC • Husband • Millennial Father

About Me

Hi, I'm Kevin. I'm a financial advisor in Washington, DC, and the founder & CEO of Illumint. In 2017, I launched Illumint to specifically offer financial planning for Millennials. In doing so, I specialize in helping other parents navigate one of the biggest financial decisions of their lives, including 529 plans, merit aid, and other tuition discounts.

As a fiduciary and an advocate for our generation’s most pressing financial issues, I also work with employers and brands on a variety of Millennial-driven personal finance events and projects, including speaking engagements, financial wellness programs, and sponsored campaigns. Organizations such as George Washington University, Nestle, General Assembly, WeWork, and Johns Hopkins University have partnered with me to provide relevant, nonjudgmental personal finance knowledge to their Millennial audiences.

My work as a Certified Financial Planner™ draws on my finance experience in the professional sports and commercial real estate industries. My decision to transition to a personal financial advisor in Washington, DC, though, stems from my and my wife’s experience preparing financially for their our child. Around this time, I noticed that young couples like us lacked good options for receiving financial advice specific to our stage in life. Traditional financial planning, with an almost exclusive focus on investing, wouldn’t help sufficiently with our goals in life. Millennials need more fee-only advisors who can discuss the benefits of renting, the cost of raising children, and the new ways in which parents are thinking about college tuition.

I enjoy sharing my perspective on personal finance with other Millennials, so I regularly serve as a resource for journalists. I've provided insight to national publications such as the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Newsweek, Time, and CNBC. I've also written for Yahoo! Finance, Fatherly, Kiplinger, and Forbes.

I hold an undergraduate business degree from Georgetown University and an MBA in finance from Georgia Tech. I'm both proud and humbled to say that Investopedia identified me as one of the top 100 financial advisors in the country. And Business Insider named me one of the "best financial advisors for Millennials" in the U.S. I'm a member of the XY Planning Network, Fee-Only Network, Advisor Growth Community, and National Association of Personal Financial Advisors (NAPFA). Last but certainly not least, I'm the father of two young kids, who only care if I play sports with them after school.
