Meet the Founder

A personal approach to cross-border wealth.

Puente Wealth was created to serve Mexican-American families and business owners building lasting wealth. As a bilingual advisor based in San Diego, I understand that wealth is rarely just about investments, it's about family, culture, opportunity, and legacy.

My role is to bring clarity to complex financial lives, in English or Spanish, with deep cross-border expertise for families navigating the U.S. and Mexico when that's part of their story.
