About Daniel

Daniel has over a decade of financial services experience working with families and their finances. I started my career as a loan officer at State Employees’ Credit Union in NC and eventually found my way to being a Lead Financial Advisor working with over 100 families at Parsec Financial. Along the way, I became increasingly skeptical of the Assets Under Management (AUM) fee model of many advisory firms. In 2021, decided to start Refocus Financial Planning, a Flat Fee financial advisory firm. I love this opportunity to help individuals and families make sense of their financial world, and make wise choices in investing their savings and enjoying retirement.
