I began my career in the financial services industry nearly ten years ago. Prior to founding Dreamfield Planning Group, I served as an associate wealth management advisor at Sconset Wealth Management—an advisory practice nested in the downtown Boston office of Northwestern Mutual—where I developed financial plans and managed investment assets. In a preceding role in the same office, I led an internal business unit providing investment consulting services to multiple financial advisors representing more than $200 million of assets under management (AUM). Previous to that, I served as an associate financial advisor at a Foxborough, Massachusetts financial planning practice and as a research analyst at a Cambridge, Massachusetts public policy research firm. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in History from Hendrix College and a Master of Public Policy from Georgetown University. I am both a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ and a CFA Charterholder. I have lived for many years in Milton, Massachusetts with my wife Allie and our son Ben. In my spare time, I enjoy travel, reading, playing guitar, and taking long walks with the family dog, Louie.

Thanks for your interest in my firm! I’m Mark Wilson, APA, CFP®, a proud father of two and lucky husband of one. I founded MILE Wealth Management to provide real wealth management to families and “Make It Look Easy” (MILE). Providing integrated financial planning and investment management is hard. This is the reason why most financial advisors do bare minimum planning or no planning at all. Those that do financial plans intentionally make it look complex to justify their fees. The industry is full of jargon, acronyms, fine print and disclosures. It’s no wonder that their “customers” are not meeting their goals or sleeping well at night. My goal is to use my experience, teaching background, wise use of technology and smarts to make it look easy. I’ve found that families that understand their financial situation, set their personal targets and see their next steps will be able to achieve their short and long-term goals and make adjustments as necessary. I want you to be relaxed about your finances, focus on what’s really important and make it look easy. Have a look at our website (www.milewealth.com) or call 949-441-4410 to find out more.

Hi, I'm Chris - Founder and Financial Planner at Southshore Financial Planning. I enjoy partnering with individuals and families to guide them to and through retirement so they can live life to the fullest. This is accomplished by first taking a deep dive into where clients are now financially and where they want to be. Then ideas are weaved together in the areas of cash flow, investments, taxes, insurance, debt and estate planning into one financial roadmap. Professionally, I am a CFP® Practitioner and have two finance-related degrees from the University of North Florida. My entire 19 year career has been dedicated to serving individuals and families in the financial services industry. Before founding Southshore Financial Planning, I spent 11 years at one of the largest financial institutions in the country where I was directly responsible for a $700 million client practice. On a personal note, my wife Heather and I are parents to three wonderful boys. In our free time we enjoy spending time with family, traveling, fishing, and watching the Tampa Bay Lightning.

I help you plan your optimum retirement income strategy. You’ve saved your whole life for retirement, and now it’s time to use that savings to relax and spend your time the way you want to. We will figure out together the best way for you to distribute your savings and account for investment risks, taxes, and an uncertain future. I live in East Texas with my wife and two kids. I am a former professor and take a teaching approach with my clients as well. No two retirements are the same, so your retirement plan will require some custom-fitting. I want you to understand everything we do so that you can help me understand the best plan for you. I am also an Infantry Major in the Arkansas Army National Guard.
