My Mission Statement
I provide personalized financial advice, retirement planning, and portfolio management tailored to your individual goals and needs.
My Story and Services
Prior to joining Morgan Stanley, I spent my entire career at Wells Fargo. In November 2018, after 26 years with Wells Fargo, I had the opportunity to join Morgan Stanley as a Financial Advisor. I was recently promoted to Senior Vice President and designated as a Portfolio Management Director. I attended Indiana University Bloomington and graduated from the Kelley School of Business with a degree in Finance in 1992.
For more than 30 years, the foundation of my success has been working with clients to develop a plan to achieve financial security. This requires a thorough understanding of each client’s comprehensive situation—everything from their financial “inventory” to their personal needs and goals. In addition to my decades of experience, my practice provides access to the experience, intellectual capital, and extensive resources of Morgan Stanley.
As a Portfolio Management Director, I am responsible for managing client portfolios in alignment with each client’s objectives and risk tolerance. This includes selecting investments, ensuring appropriate diversification, making tactical portfolio adjustments, and overseeing the overall asset allocation for each portfolio.
Outside of work, I am an avid hockey fan. I have played since the age of four and continue to play in a local men’s league during the winter months, while enjoying golf in the summer. My wife, Leah, and I were married in 2015 at Arista Winery in the Russian River Valley of Sonoma County. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, we returned to Arista each year for our anniversary and hope to resume that tradition soon. Currently, we spend most of our free time with our four-year-old son, Charlie.

1Morgan Stanley Wealth Management is the trade name of Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC, a registered broker-dealer in the United States. Morgan Stanley Wealth Management is a business of Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC.
For more information, please see the Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC Client Relationship Summary.
2When Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC, its affiliates and Morgan Stanley Financial Advisors and Private Wealth Advisors (collectively, “Morgan Stanley”) provide “investment advice” regarding a retirement or welfare benefit plan account, an individual retirement account or a Coverdell education savings account (“Retirement Account”), Morgan Stanley is a “fiduciary” as those terms are defined under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), and/or the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), as applicable. When Morgan Stanley provides investment education, takes orders on an unsolicited basis or otherwise does not provide “investment advice”, Morgan Stanley will not be considered a “fiduciary” under ERISA and/or the Code. For more information regarding Morgan Stanley’s role with respect to a Retirement Account, please visit www.morganstanley.com/disclosures/dol. Tax laws are complex and subject to change. Morgan Stanley does not provide tax or legal advice. Individuals are encouraged to consult their tax and legal advisors (a) before establishing a Retirement Account, and (b) regarding any potential tax, ERISA and related consequences of any investments or other transactions made with respect to a Retirement Account. Individuals should consult their tax advisor for matters involving taxation and tax planning and their attorney for matters involving trust and estate planning, charitable giving, philanthropic planning and other legal matters.
3Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC (“Morgan Stanley”), its affiliates and Morgan Stanley Financial Advisors and Private Wealth Advisors do not provide tax or legal advice. Clients should consult their tax advisor for matters involving taxation and tax planning and their attorney for matters involving trust and estate planning and other legal matters.
4Investing in the market entails the risk of market volatility. The value of all types of investments may increase or decrease over varying time periods. The returns on a portfolio consisting primarily of sustainable or impact investments may be lower or higher than a portfolio that is more diversified or where decisions are based solely on investment considerations. Because sustainability and impact criteria exclude some investments, investors may not be able to take advantage of the same opportunities or market trends as investors that do not use such criteria. Diversification does not guarantee a profit or protect against loss in a declining financial market.
5Structured Investments are complex and not appropriate for all investors. An investment in structured investments involves risks. These risks can include but are not limited to: fluctuations in the price, level or yield of underlying asset(s), interest rates, currency values and credit quality, substantial loss of principal, limits on participation in appreciation of underlying asset(s), limited liquidity, credit risk, and/or conflicts of interest. Many structured investments do not pay interest or guarantee a return above principal at maturity. Investors should read the security’s offering documentation prior to making an investment decision.
6Morgan Stanley’s investment advisory programs may require a minimum asset level and, depending on your specific investment objectives and financial position, may not be appropriate for you. Please see the Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC program disclosure brochure (the “Morgan Stanley ADV”) for more information in the investment advisory programs available. The Morgan Stanley ADV is available at www.morganstanley.com/ADV.
