As the president and founder of Seaside Wealth Management, I have created a unique, comprehensive wealth management firm that provides unbiased guidance and robust financial planning for individuals, families and small businesses. I help my clients in clarifying their goals, navigating the issues that impact their finances, and creating financial peace for their future in retirement.

I consider myself to be someone who is dedicated to promoting financial literacy in the community and has a passion for teaching and helping others succeed. I served on the Board of the San Diego Financial Planning Association and am a past chair of the programs committee. I frequently volunteer my time and teach retirement planning today courses at Mira Costa College.

My family and I are involved in our church and other areas of the community. I’ve also served as a Board Member of the Carlsbad Education Foundation, Vice President of the UCLA Club of San Diego as well as on the Board of the Magdalena Ecke Family YMCA.

I am a third generation Californian and live in Carlsbad with my wife, Vanessa, and our four children, Luke, Jake, Rebecca and Catherine. We enjoy playing golf together, skiing in Mammoth, enjoying the beautiful beaches of San Diego, and spending time outdoors. I also love being involved with coaching my son's football and baseball teams.

Wealth Manager

As a wealth manager at Seaside Wealth Management, I have an extensive background in financial planning, which includes a focus on investment management and portfolio construction. I have found my passion, which is helping individuals and their families achieve their financial goals.

I believe that, in order to best serve clients, educating myself was the best place to start. I graduated with a bachelor's degree in business administration with a concentration in finance from the University of New Mexico, and then went on to pursue the Chartered Financial Consultant, Retirement Income Certified Professional, and CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ designations.

What I enjoy most about my career is building lasting relationships with clients, creating financial peace in a complex world, and seeing the financial plan come to life on the way to and through retirement. I moved to California to join the team at Seaside Wealth Management, and the sunshine tax is absolutely worth it. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with family and friends, staying active, being outdoors, golfing, and traveling to new places.

al@seasidewealth.com

I am a financial advisor at Seaside Wealth Management. I have been in the business for 56 years. Being “on the same side of the table” as my clients is something that I truly enjoy about my career, and becoming a fee-only advisor many years ago has been very rewarding. I am passionate about helping my clients find peace with their finances.

I like to stay actively involved in my community and have been a member of the Encinitas Rotary club since 1987, serving as the secretary in 2017-2018 and 2018-2019. Through the Rotary club, I have participated in financial literacy classes at the high school level and in the community. I am also involved with the Encinitas Business Exchange and am an active member of North Coast Church where I serve as a greeter on Sundays.

Family and community involvement are important to me. My wife Rita and I have been married since 1968. We’ve lived in North County San Diego since 1975 and enjoy traveling, reading, golfing and being with family. Our daughter, Stacy, and son, Todd, live nearby with their families. The four grandchildren are a huge delight for Rita and I!
