Hughes Life & Legacy was built to help people make informed decisions around retirement, taxes, and long-term risk. After using these same strategies and financial tools for years in my own portfolio, I saw a clear need for guidance that is transparent, analytical, and focused on education and informed decision-making.

My background spans financial services and enterprise technology. I’ve worked within financial institutions supporting Equity Capital Markets initiatives for U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray, and I’ve contributed to national platforms built to support the insurance and investment needs of financial professionals across the country. In addition, I spent more than 25 years leading software engineering, business intelligence, and product teams within a Fortune 50 organization.

That experience shapes how I work today: data-driven, process-oriented, and focused on clarity. Clients receive straightforward explanations and thoughtfully designed strategies grounded in logic and risk awareness.

I am supported by mentor and senior advisor Steve Redelsperger, who brings decades of experience in advanced retirement and risk-management planning. His involvement adds depth, perspective, and an additional layer of oversight.

Strategies discussed are for educational purposes and are implemented based on individual circumstances; Hughes Life & Legacy does not provide tax or legal advice.
