I believe thoughtful financial planning can give families greater clarity, confidence and control over important decisions. As a Senior Vice President and Financial Advisor at Morgan Stanley, I appreciate the opportunity to educate, guide and help clients make thoughtful decisions for their families and future generations.
I grew up in a working-class family in a small city in Kentucky where savings and expenses were frequently discussed. The 2008 Financial Crisis had a significant impact on my family’s finances, and that experience inspired me to learn more about markets, investing and long-term planning. I developed a personal passion for investing and, upon graduating from the University of Kentucky, pursued a career in wealth management.
When I moved to San Diego in 2014 to build my practice, I did not have a local network or family connections to rely on. I developed a client list from scratch by earning trust the old-fashioned way: through communication, honesty and a high level of service. I have built my practice by listening carefully, communicating consistently and treating client relationships with the care they deserve. I know how hard people work to build wealth, and I take seriously the responsibility of helping them make informed decisions with it.
Today, I work with affluent individuals, families, executives and business owners who want organized, thoughtful guidance around increasingly complex financial decisions. Many of these conversations involve planning around career transitions, business ownership, concentrated wealth, liquidity events, family priorities and coordination with tax and legal advisors.
Beyond the office, I’m passionate about maintaining a healthy and active lifestyle. I enjoy exercising, reading a good book, traveling, cooking and supporting my favorite basketball and football teams. My greatest joy comes from spending quality time with my wife and our son.
