My Mission Statement
I help clients and families of substantial wealth simplify and manage their complex personal and financial lives.
Working With Us
It’s tempting to separate life into compartments—your family, your business, your hobbies, your investments, your charitable endeavors—but these areas interact together in highly personalized ways. Your plan for your wealth should fully address all of these important elements of your life and evolve to match your priorities.
Helping you view your assets as a source of freedom is my goal. Since 2004, I have served families by creating customized, in-depth plans to help them preserve and grow their wealth. My process is built around your personal financial goals and I commit to helping you achieve your goals while avoiding unnecessary risk. You receive regular reviews of your progress as well as on-going support throughout the year.
As a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™, I introduce you to strategies that help you minimize income taxes, maintain sufficient liquidity, and help make certain you are adequately insured. Ultimately, this planning process empowers you to invest and spend your money in ways that are consistent with your values and that benefit the people and causes you care about the most.
Maintaining a balanced life is as important to me personally as it is to my clients. My family and I live in San Carlos where you can often find me barbecuing with friends, pitching baseballs to my two young sons, or riding the local mountain biking trails. I am a volunteer with Child Advocates, a non-profit that provides foster children with mentors who advocate for their needs and well-being.
I am selectively adding new clients who wish to establish a long-term advisory relationship with an experienced, independent-minded wealth management professional. If you’d like to set up an appointment, please contact me at 650-496-4240.

PROVEN PROCESS
As you achieve significant financial success, you begin to face a number of distinct challenges and complications managing your affairs. Suddenly, you face more complex investment choices and your decisions may take on greater consequences. In a world that has become increasingly complex against a backdrop of capital markets that demand greater attention than ever before, you also want to protect your interest, your family and your hard-earned resources.
The complexity surrounding many of your financially-related decisions requires thoughtful, thorough analysis. Our team’s depth and experience in analyzing complex matters serves as a critical foundation upon which you can consider alternative approaches. Our focus on solutions, not products, allows us to assess problems from different vantage points in an effort to identify effective solutions for you and your family.
Helping families consider risks carefully by outlining and quantifying them, and then comparing risks to potential returns, helps us tailor optimal approaches. Our clients are focused on priorities like capital preservation and performance, and perhaps like them, you are also concerned about the impact of inflation, debt, volatility, taxes and intergenerational transitions.
Our experienced advisors are available to provide thoughtful and thorough insight that helps you make informed decisions, whether that is assessing measures of risk in a portfolio, identifying factors that might cause a decline in value, or seeking to understand the probability that trusts you set up for heirs will meet their stated income distribution rates.

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.

4The returns on a portfolio consisting primarily of Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) aware investments may be lower or higher than a portfolio that is more diversified or where decisions are based solely on investment considerations. Because ESG 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.
