I grew up in a family that knew both the cost of loss and the value of legacy.

My parents fled Cuba after it fell to communism—leaving behind their home, their livelihoods, and the chance to ever see their parents again. They rebuilt their lives from nothing, in a country that promised freedom but offered no guarantees.

Watching them start over taught me two things: that wealth is fragile without protection, and that legacy is about far more than money—it’s about honoring the sacrifices that came before you.

From a young age, I was fascinated by the financial markets—the way they could build, preserve, or erase fortunes depending on knowledge and discipline. When I chose to serve the public as a financial advisor, it wasn’t just a career decision—it was a calling born from my family’s history.

My mission became clear: to help ensure that no family I serve would ever experience the kind of catastrophic loss my parents endured. That’s why Arrival Point Financial exists—to help people safeguard what they’ve built, design the legacies they envision, and find the peace of knowing their future is secure.

I believe retirement can be the most meaningful chapter of a person’s life—a time when your story, your values, and your legacy can truly come alive. Every client I work with has a story worth preserving, and by freeing them from the financial worries and costly mistakes that often define retirement, they are empowered to craft a life that reflects their dreams, goals, and aspirations.

For me, that’s what legacy is all about: not just leaving something behind, but living fully today—secure, confident, and with purpose.
