Welcome

For more than 30 years, I have been providing financial guidance that encompasses both sides of clients’ balance sheets, and many aspects of their financial lives. I help clients invest wisely during their working years in an effort to create lasting income during retirement and review strategies for legacy planning. With my decades of experience, I have worked with clients through different market conditions, helping them achieve their goals and live the life they envisioned in retirement.

Committed to lifelong learning and maintaining a high level of proficiency in the ever-changing financial industry, in 2016 I obtained the Chartered Retirement Planning CounselorSM designation. As a CRPC® I have completed extensive coursework and passed the exam, certifying that I have knowledge in pre- and post-retirement needs, estate planning strategies and retirement planning process. Additionally, in 2018 I earned the Portfolio Manager designation. As a Portfolio Manager, I am part of a select group of Morgan Stanley Financial Advisors who have successfully completed the rigorous Portfolio Management Certification Program and met established standards that are well-respected throughout the industry.

I am dedicated to your success and providing the experience, knowledge and service that can create enduring relationships. The best relationships are based on trust and integrity, which are part of my core values, and shared values. My core principles are the foundation of my practice and my commitment to you and your family.

I became a Financial Advisor in 1989 after serving in the Air Force, and moved to the Morgan Stanley Gilford, NH office from Prudential in 1991. My wife Sandra and I live in Gilford and have two adult sons, Tyler and Andrew. In my free time, I enjoy boating and hiking with our dog Lily.
