About Jose

I works as a Personal Finance Consultant, specializing in wealth accumulation with tax benefits and risk management for Federal Employees.

I have been focusing my "expertise" on Asset Protection exclusively for Federal Employees, Military and Veterans. The combination of my skills in the area of Financial Planning and the knowledge that I continue to acquire has allowed me to apply it to devise financial and tax shelter strategies in order to help my clients maximize and protect their assets for their retirement.
