About Us

As a portfolio manager and financial advisor I work with families to help build and preserve their assets.  After spending over 40 years working as a financial professional to affluent families, I know that it's about building towards your personal objectives- it's not about what everyone else is doing or what such and such on Financial News says.  It's about you. 

I’ve worked with families over generations to help accomplish their financial objectives.  With individual client relationships that have lasted over three decades and an average client relationship of over 15 years I’ve demonstrated my willingness to learn about and care for client families- and offer a seasoned perspective on investment markets.
