My Mission Statement
Meaningful financial planning for your life and legacy.
Welcome
Managing wealth involves far more than managing an investment portfolio. It begins with developing a holistic, comprehensive understanding of who you are and the financial forces at work in your life.
It means helping you understand and respond effectively to these forces. And, of course, it means helping you invest your assets in a way that reflects the realities of your life and the uniqueness of your long-term goals.
As the financial world becomes more complex and investment choices multiply, careful planning becomes more important to helping you achieve your financial goals.
As Financial Advisors, our role is to help you use your wealth to achieve what is most important to you. We are committed to building a relationship of trust.
We work with you to help you develop a strategy that lays out a clear path to your goals — a strategy that we develop in collaboration with you, and one that you can follow with confidence in the face of the market’s ups and downs.
Drawing on the team’s experience — and perspective informed by the insight and resources of one of the world’s largest financial firms — we will translate your goals into a specific Investment objective and personalized investment strategy, structure a portfolio, implement and continually refine the strategy to help bring you closer to your definition of investment success.
In short, your goals become our focus, and working towards them becomes a commitment that we share.

Introduction:
Our role is to help you ensure that your investment objectives are consistent with both your pressing financial concerns and your long-term aspirations. Working together, we define what is important to you and develop the solutions to help get you there. We have developed a disciplined process to help you achieve your goals.
Step 1: Getting to Know Each Other
Our relationship begins with listening to learn about who you are as a person. We meet to talk – not just about your assets, but also about your values, aspirations and vision for the future. Understanding who you are and what you hope to accomplish enables us to identify potential gaps that may exist between you and your goals, and to develop customized strategies that help maximize your likelihood of success.
Step 2: Developing your Personalized Wealth Management Strategy
Based on our discussions, we have gathered all of what matters most to you. We will work collaboratively to develop specific strategies which are tailored to your unique financial situation. Our advice may encompass issues such as retirement planning, tax minimization potential, wealth transfer and family dynamics.
Step 3: Implementing your Strategy
After we have discussed and refined your strategy, we work closely with you to bring the elements to life. We will work diligently to implement each step with the care, focus and the respect that you expect. Combining our skills and experience with the resources and intellectual capital of Morgan Stanley. Whatever approach we decide on together, our team will help you keep your strategy on track.
Step 4: Ongoing Commitment
We view ongoing communication as the foundation of our successful collaboration with you. We will be proactive, identifying areas of opportunity or concern, and staying abreast of changes with you, your family and the world. We will suggest appropriate adjustments to your strategy to help it remain aligned with your goals. Our goal is to always be a guide and resource you can turn to at any time.

We listen very carefully to each client’s aspirations and concerns, and based on this input, we work diligently to help them achieve their most important goals.
I have been working in the financial industry since 2005 and believe that honesty, respect and hard work are essential values in both my professional and personal life. Prior to joining Morgan Stanley in 2011, I was a financial advisor at Wells Fargo. I also worked for a top-tier accounting firm as a tax consultant.

Originally from Mexico City, I was raised and lived there for 25 years before coming to New Mexico. I met my wife, Victoria, in 2001, and we have three children, Ella, Patrick and Andre. We have been living in Rio Rancho since 2009. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, training for triathlons and striving for a balanced and healthy lifestyle. I am constantly seeking challenges and motivated toward new goals. I have completed five sprint triathlons, one Olympic and my first Half Ironman in Boulder, CO in August of 2022.

10When 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. Individuals should always check with their tax or legal advisor before engaging in any transaction involving 529 Plans, Education Savings Accounts and other tax-advantaged investments.
11The returns on a portfolio consisting primarily of Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) aware investments may be lower or higher than a portfolio that is more diversified or where decisions are based solely on investment considerations. Because ESG criteria exclude some investments, investors may not be able to take advantage of the same opportunities or market trends as investors that do not use such criteria. Diversification does not guarantee a profit or protect against loss in a declining financial market.
