Let’s just say it didn’t end quietly—it unraveled with drama, unexpected twists, and the kind of blunt reality that makes you question everything

One weekend, following a close friend’s wedding, the facade of our “perfect” marriage crumbled. Maintaining that illusion had been exhausting, and its end, while painful, became a catalyst for a complete reset into who I was and what I did. During this tumultuous time, my family and close friends became my pillars of strength, offering unwavering support that carried the darkest moments.

I had always believed that common sense and fairness would prevail in the family law system, but I couldn't have been more wrong. The next ten years involved countless court appearances, numerous mediators, costly litigators, and a rotation of family law judges issuing inconsistent rulings. It was a real and disheartening eye-opener.

Through that experience, I created SplitSmart with Anna. My mission is to others toward fair and equitable divorce settlements through divorce financial planning and co-mediation services. I've witnessed court rulings that were disastrous for families, especially those with children, and I’m committed to helping others avoid similar pitfalls.

My professional path as a divorce financial analyst naturally expanded to include civil and divorce mediation services. My goal is to make a difference—inspired daily by the kindness, grit and growth in the people I work with, I to keep a sense of humor and find joy in the mess and beauty of life, always learning as I go.
