Let's be real...

You've got about a two-minute window before someone comes through that door

..a boss..
..a child..

"Who is Mark?"

I'm a husband, a father, and—like you—someone who understands the challenge of balancing family life with financial security.

Between brewing beer and catching football games, my passion lies in helping families make intentional financial choices that keep tomorrow’s options open.

I’ve been where you are:

..managing a family with young kids..

..feeling the pressure of time..

and knowing that your finances need structure.

So I started Second Comma — to help families like yours work towards securing their children’s future, balance their family’s needs, and create a clear path toward lasting financial stability.

"Why does Second Comma exist?"

Well, it's pretty simple actually.

At Second Comma, we believe your financial future hinges on a few key decisions made at the right time.

And unlike many advisors who focus solely on clients already prepared for retirement, we’re here to help families like yours who are building that foundation.

We understand the challenges of starting retirement savings while balancing everyday family needs. That’s why we don’t have high minimums or rigid requirements.

Our goal is to guide you through those pivotal financial moments—helping you make intentional choices today, keeping tomorrow’s options open, so your family can reach the financial stability you deserve.

We simplify the process, offering clear, actionable steps for busy families. Whether it’s planning for your children's education or building a retirement fund, we make sure your financial path aligns with your family’s goals.

If you're ready, schedule a complimentary discovery call to explore how we can help you work towards securing your family’s future.
