SSU Alumnus / Founder/ Willow Creek Wealth Management

Founding Willow Creek Wealth Management in 1984, I have built my career around a deep commitment to serving clients’ highest wealth interests through thoughtful, forward-looking advice. I find fulfillment in helping families clarify what money means to them and aligning financial decisions with their personal, professional, and philanthropic aspirations.
I continue to work part time with individuals and small business owners, with particular expertise in succession and philanthropic planning. In addition to advising clients, I help shape the firm’s long-term strategic vision, mentor emerging professionals, and serve on the investment committee.

I moved to Sonoma County in 1970 to attend Sonoma State, graduating in 1972 with a degree in Expressive Arts. Community engagement has long been a passion of mine. Over the years, I have served on numerous boards, including the Sonoma County Community Foundation’s Investment Committee, West County Community Services, The Sebastopol Community Center and have consulted with numerous other nonprofit organizations.

Outside of my professional and volunteer work, I enjoy travel, hiking, music, reading, gardening, and spending time with my granddaughter.
