My Story and Services

Christopher graduated from The College of The Holy Cross, where he majored in economics and mathematics. Since graduation, Christopher has spent his entire career at Morgan Stanley starting in the product analyst program in 2011 where he worked with Morgan Stanley's Alternative Investment Group, Consulting Group, Wealth Advisory Solutions Group and Field Management Organization. In 2013, Christopher found his passion for working directly with individual clients and became a Financial Advisor and joined a team in 2013.

Christopher prides himself on his extremely disciplined process and his focus on both the asset and liability side of the balance sheet. Christopher takes into account each client's unique situations and risk tolerance, and this is personified in a financial plan constructed with a highly customized portfolio that aims to deliver quality risk adjusted returns. Christopher believes in rigorous trust and estate planning, aligning both financial and personal goals to help navigate the complexities of wealth. He is an Alternative Investments Director, utilizing alternative investments to deliver differentiated solutions to his high and ultra-high net-worth clients.

Outside of the office, Christopher enjoys traveling, running, and boating with his wife Nikkie locally in Naples, Florida. He enjoys participating in local charities, most notably Zoobilee, as a sponsor last year fundraising for the Naples Zoo.

The Client Experience

My clients are much more than a portfolio of assets - they are families with active lives, who want an advisor who will provide them with thorough, unbiased, and carefully considered guidance on a full range of financial topics. When working with me, you will be treated with respect, care and confidentiality, and given an unwavering commintement to you and your family.

I work with a broad range of clients who need professional guidance from managing life-changing events and retirement planning to financing major acquisitions or achieving philanthropic goals. While all clients have unique personal and professional circumstances, they have one thing in common, securing and maintaining a solid financial future for themselves and for their families.

I use a disciplined four-step consultative process to uncover your most important goals, so that we may design and implement appropriate solutions to help plan for your future.

    Listen & Understand

    We'll begin with an in-depth conversation where I'll listen carefully to understand what is important to you, your family, and your legacy. I learn about the values that shape your decisions and identify any challenges and circumstances unique to your situation.

    Analyze & Assess

    Next, we'll review your current and future financial situation, determine the likelihood of reaching your goals and address any potential shortfalls or the impact of unexpected life events. In this step, we may also contact your CPA and estate attorney to understand your existing estate plan so we can help ensure the strategies we recommend are cohesive and fully coordinated.

    Propose & Implement

    Here, we'll present a tailored wealth management plan with specific strategies designed to achieve your particular goals. Upon your approval, we'll set into motion a course of action that strives to align your values and vision.

    Monitor & Adapt

    We'll oversee your performance towards your goal through ongoing calls and meetings. We may recommend adjustments over time, due to changing market conditions or changes in your circumstances to help keep you on track towards achieving your goals.
