My Mission Statement
Our role is to help you visualize the financial future you want for yourself and your family, and then develop a customized plan that outlines the steps to achieve it.
My Story and Services
As the financial world becomes more complex and investment choices multiply, careful planning becomes ever more important to helping you achieve your financial goals. As a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™, Financial Advisor, Insurance Planning Director and Financial Planning Specialist, our role is to help you visualize the financial future you want for yourself and your family, and then develop a customized plan that outlines the steps aimed to achieve it.
Together, we will explore a broad range of topics that are likely to influence your financial future — from your family situation to your career aspirations, from likely education expenses to the retirement you ultimately envision. What we learn will become the foundation for a personalized wealth management strategy that integrates the various aspects of your financial life and reflects who you are and where you want to go. Only then will we talk with you about the details of investing: how much risk makes sense, your asset allocation, and which investments are right for your portfolio.
But that’s just the beginning. Over time, we will monitor and revise your plan to reflect new aspirations and priorities, helping your plan keep pace as the markets change and your life unfolds. We are committed to being at your service, and you can count on us to be your sounding board. We are always just a call, email or text away to answer your questions or advise you on all your important financial decisions.

Experience
With more than 16 years of financial industry experience, we are firmly committed to long-term relationships and strive to deliver exceptional client service. We listen very carefully to each client’s aspirations and concerns, and based on this input, we work diligently to help them achieve their most important goals.
I have been working in the financial industry since 2005 and believe that honesty, respect and hard work are essential values in both my professional and personal life. Prior to joining Morgan Stanley in 2011, I was a financial advisor at Wells Fargo. I also worked for a top-tier accounting firm as a tax consultant. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in accounting and my post graduate degree in taxes from the renowned Panamerican University in Mexico City.
Originally from Mexico City, I was raised and lived there for 25 years before coming to New Mexico. I met my wife, Victoria, in 2001, and we have three children, Ella, Patrick and Andre. We have been living in Rio Rancho since 2009. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, training for triathlons and striving for a balanced and healthy lifestyle. I am constantly seeking challenges and motivated toward new goals. I have completed five sprint triathlons, one Olympic and my first Half Ironman in Boulder, CO in August of 2022.

11Investing 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.

9Alternative Investments are speculative and include a high degree of risk. An investor could lose all or a substantial amount of his/her investment. Alternative investments are appropriate only for qualified, long-term investors who are willing to forgo liquidity and put capital at risk for an indefinite period of time.
10When 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 always check with their tax or legal advisor before engaging in any transaction involving 529 Plans, Education Savings Accounts and other tax-advantaged investments.
11Investing 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.
