About Me

I realize every Estate and Financial Plan is unique and each client needs a customized solution that is tailored to the goals they want to accomplish, their level of wealth, age, health, and unique personal situations.

My experience is in providing customized consulting to your estate, family, company, or legacy plan. As your estate grows and matures, you can rest assured that I continuously align you with professionals to oversee results against your goals, so that you can focus on what you are good at. I focus on being your consultant, your personal CFO, if you may. 

My goal is to enable you to make confident, well informed executive decisions by providing you professional consultation and access to all the resources you need, ranging from data on net returns to legal planning, tax planning, etc. I leverage the strength of specialists with expertise across Financial and Estate Planning, and engage them at appropriate stages of your estate.  By doing so, I provide you with all available resources and consider all the inputs and options from experts to provide tailored solutions to you.  

I value a proactive, consultative approach and ensure the highest level of service to all clients. The traditional process of “sole decision making” encourages and is based on the idea that you can be the best in everything you do…  For example, the belief of simply making money based on an investment vehicle (stocks, real estate, or mutual funds), even paying commission for each trade or product, minimizing investment expense/cost without factoring Net Return”, and making sole decisions based solely on “feel”, performance, or even a great idea from only one source (friend or family) should be evaluated with your entire Estate in mind, and improved with the advice of experienced specialists.

Working With You
With my 28 years of experience, 26 of which being at Morgan Stanley, I find that clients who truly utilize my Cumulative Financial Planning (utilizing a Financial Planning process and data-based tool) and position me as their “Personal CFO” or consultant can help effectively achieve their goals. If you have other priorities and urgencies to accomplish as a first priority (such as job changes/relocations, family goals, special needs, etc.) I can start with those.

Every person and estate is unique and my consultation process allows you to work at YOUR PACE and ONLY on the items you want or I feel is a priority action item for you. If I have recommendations, it will be backed by facts and data and include all available options so you can make your best possible decisions.

3Investors 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.
