My Mission Statement
We help founders, families of significant wealth, and executive leadership make high-stakes decisions with clarity and confidence—before and after a business sale, when evaluating private aviation, or when protecting what matters most: business, real estate, legacy, and lifestyle.
We continue to serve long-standing clients with the same level of strategic care and personal connection they've come to expect.
We continue to serve long-standing clients with the same level of strategic care and personal connection they've come to expect.
Welcome
Welcome to our practice. We offer the close-knit feel of a boutique firm, backed by the strength and depth of a global financial institution. Whether you're a founder preparing for a liquidity event or a family stewarding significant wealth—we're here to help you navigate big decisions with clarity and confidence.
This is a second-generation advisory practice. I purchased it from my father after years of working alongside him, and today, I work with my wife and plan to bring my son into the business. For me, this isn't just about managing wealth—it's about legacy, leadership, and doing right by the people who trust us.
What Makes Us Different?
- Real Strategy, Real Experiance: We don't follow a templated process. Our work is grounded in what we've actually helped clients solve—before, during, and after high-stakes transitions.
- Relationships That Go Beyond Referrals: We work directly with investment bankers, attorneys, tax professionals, and aviation experts to help simplify complex decisions and lead coordinated strategies from day one.
- Time is the Most Valuable Asset: Our planning is designed to reduce friction, eliminate noise, and free up your most valuable resource—time. If you're looking for thoughtful planning, real-world perspective, and a more strategic way forward-it's time for an updgrade—let's talk.

When Everything Works Together, It Works Better.
When your wealth spans businesses, real estate, investments, and family priorities—it's not just about what you own, it's about how everything works together. That's where we come in.
We help clients make sense of their full financial picture, coordinating across assets, advisors, and generations. That includes integrating public and private investments, designing tax-aware strategies, and managing liquidity so your wealth can support the life, legacy, and purpose you've worked hard to build.
We don't just look at a portfolio. We look at the structure, the timing, and the "what ifs."
Because real life doesn't follow a neat quarterly report—and your wealth strategy shouldn't either.
Topics We Commonly Address:
- How do we simplify the chaos of multiple advisors and accounts?
- What's the smartest way to coordinate real estate, trusts, and cash flow?
- How do I reduce tax drag and increase flexibility without overengineering everything?
- Is my portfolio really aligned with what I need my money to do?
This isn't financial advice in pieces—it's full-spectrum strategy. When everything works together, it works better.
The Deal is Just the Beginning
Selling a business is never just a financial transaction—it's personal, emotional, and often overwhelming.
Whether you're exploring an offer, actively negotiating, or managing what comes next, we help founders navigate this transition with strategy, clarity, and confidence.
I've sat in the room leading banker bake-offs, worked side-by-side with tax, QofE, and legal teams, and translated the deal process into language founders and their families can understand.
This isn't about reacting to a Letter of Intent 'LOI.' It's about leading early—before the structure is set, the taxes are locked in, or the clock runs out.
From liquidity modeling and trust design to post-sale planning and big-picture purpose, I help ensure the outcome serves more than your bank account—it serves your life.
Topics We Commonly Address:
- How do I evaluate offers and avoid leaving money on the table?
- What do I need to understand before this deal goes too far?
- How do I prepare my family for the emotional and financial shift?
- What comes after the wire hits—what's the plan, and what's the point?
Whether you're preparing to sell now or thinking three years out, the earlier we start, the better positioned you'll be—personally, financially, and emotionally.
Where Passion Meets Strategy
Homes abroad. High-value collections. Private aviation. Custom yachts. These aren't just purchases—they're strategic decisions with financial, legal, and tax implications.
We help clients evaluate, structure, and integrate lifestyle assets into the broader wealth plan—so their passion and priorities are aligned, not in conflict.
As a licensed pilot, aviation business founder, and aviation community member, I've worked with clients on everything from fractional shares and jet cards to international routing, liability protection, and exit planning. I also bring experience in yacht acquisition, art and watch collection strategy, and managing real estate and insurance across borders.
The common thread? These are high-conviction choices with long-term consequences—and we make sure they're made with clarity, not just enthusiasm.
Topics We Commonly Address:
- Who helps make sure all this fits together—not just in the air, but on paper?
- How do I structure large lifestyle purchases to protect my family and avoid tax surprises?
- What does it really cost to operate an aircraft, and how does that fit into my overall strategy?
- Should I own, charter, or consider a jet card—and what are the risks I'm not seeing?
When the stakes are high and the details matter, we bring real-world lifestyle experience to the table—so your passions stay in sync with your financial life.
