Where will your life take you?
ABOUT ME
Hi I’m Katie, founder of Money Pilot Financial Advisor. I’m a 25-year Army veteran where I served as a troop leader, Blackhawk helicopter pilot, and advisor on China affairs. Now I bring my passion for service and working with soldiers to financial planning. My mission is to help you take charge of your finances and live your best life. My husband Rob and I live on our farm in Virginia where the door is always open.
