Excelsius Financial · Irvine, CA | Nationwide

Your family
deserves a
real plan.

Most families are one unexpected event away from financial collapse — not because they're irresponsible, but because no one ever sat down with them and built a real strategy. That's exactly what we do.

The Reality
Most families discover their financial gaps after the emergency — not before it.

I've sat across from too many families who thought they were protected — until they weren't. A spouse passes away. A breadwinner gets sick. A job disappears overnight. And suddenly the savings that were supposed to last years run out in months.

The problem isn't laziness. It's the absence of a real plan. Most people have never had someone sit down with them, look at their complete financial picture, and map out a strategy that actually protects what they've built.

That's what Excelsius Financial does. We don't sell products — we build financial blueprints tailored to your family's specific situation, income, and goals.

blueprint for your family

About Otis

Built on conviction,
driven by results

I didn't get into financial services to sell insurance. I got into it because I kept watching families I cared about get blindsided by situations that were completely preventable — if only someone had sat down with them and built a real plan.

Over the last 11 years, I've built Excelsius Financial into a team-driven operation dedicated to one thing: giving families in Southern California the financial blueprint they deserve. We operate under World Financial Group, backed by Transamerica — one of the most trusted names in the industry.

My approach is direct, transparent, and built on a foundation of genuine care. I don't push products. I ask questions, listen carefully, and then build a strategy around your specific life — your income, your family, your goals.

Before working with Otis, I had no idea how exposed my family was. One conversation changed everything. We now have a real plan in place and I sleep better knowing my family is protected no matter what happens.

What I appreciated most was that Otis actually listened. He didn't push anything on me. He asked the right questions, built a plan around my actual life, and made sure I understood every piece of it.
