My Mission Statement
Experience, intellectual capital and dedicated personal service to help you meet your life goals. A tireless advocate to help you achieve your goals.
My Story and Services
For today's busy C-Suite executive Equity Awards, e.g. NQSO's, ISO's, RSU's, RSA's and Stock Units can be confusing and difficult to understand. Each is unique and when combined with your other assets can be a material part of your overall net worth.
I work closely with C-Suite executives mostly in the tech space who are invested in growing their net worth through innovative business strategies. I've always been intrigued with disruptors and those who place high value in having an experienced financial advisor alongside them to help navigate their journey.
Only through comprehensive planning to include our Equity Award Analysis and Goals Planning System can you feel comfortable that you've thought through the complexities and are appropriately informed to make better and more timely decisions.
I graduated from the University of Dayton (Go Flyers!) and immediately entered the investment management industry. In 1991 we to Orlando FL from New York City, where I worked on Wall Street with the Family Office team of a major Wall Street bank.
We have four children and five grandchildren. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with family, hunting, fishing, boating and time in the gym.

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.

5Alternative 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.
6Investors should consider many factors before deciding which 529 plan is appropriate. Some of these factors include: the Plan’s investment options and the historical investment performance of these options, the Plan’s flexibility and features, the reputation and expertise of the Plan’s investment manager, Plan contribution limits and the federal and state tax benefits associated with an investment in the Plan. Some states, for example, offer favorable tax treatment and other benefits to their residents only if they invest in the state’s own Qualified Tuition Program. Investors should determine their home state’s tax treatment of 529 plans when considering whether to choose an in-state or out-of-state plan. Investors should consult with their tax or legal advisor before investing in any 529 Plan or contact their state tax division for more information. Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC does not provide tax and/or legal advice. Investors should review a Program Disclosure Statement, which contains more information on investment options, risk factors, fees and expenses and possible tax consequences.
