My Mission Statement
My mission is to empower high-net-worth individuals and families to build, preserve, and thoughtfully grow wealth through comprehensive, personalized, and fully integrated financial planning, providing the clarity and confidence to move forward. By coordinating investments, liabilities, insurance, tax-aware strategies, and multi-generational legacy priorities — and collaborating with your CPA and estate attorney when appropriate — I help clients reduce complexity, make informed decisions, manage risk intentionally, and stay disciplined through changing markets and life events.
My Story and Services
With more than 33 years in the industry, I’ve built my practice around one core belief: the best financial outcomes come from a comprehensive plan — not a collection of disconnected products. I began my career as a Financial Advisor with Merrill Lynch in 1994 and joined Morgan Stanley in 2009. I earned a B.A. in Economics from the University of Dallas and an MBA in International Management & Finance from the University of Dallas Graduate School of Management.
I work with high-net-worth individuals and families who want a coordinated approach to building, preserving, and transferring wealth. My process starts with understanding what matters most to you, then building a fully integrated plan that connects investments, liabilities, insurance, tax-aware strategies, and long-term goals.
Because taxes can significantly impact real-world outcomes, I place a strong emphasis on tax-aware planning and review the tax information clients share with me to better understand their specific situation and identify potential planning opportunities. I also proactively address one of the most common concerns I hear from families — long-term care — by evaluating strategies designed to help protect lifestyle, independence, and legacy.
My goal is to serve as a long-term partner and central point of coordination, collaborating with your CPA and estate attorney when appropriate, so you can make informed decisions with clarity and confidence.
Outside of the office, I’m proud of my wife, Gwen, a first-grade teacher, and the life we share with our blended family of five children. We also have two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Max and Wrigley.
