Our Mission Statement
To deliver comprehensive wealth management guidance and lifestyle advisory resources to our clients and their families to help them create, enjoy, and continue their legacy.
Our Story
Your life is a journey, a succession of milestones and decisions shaped by your unique vision of the future. When it comes to your wealth, the decisions you make today may have a lasting impact on your family, your financial life and your legacy. We understand that long-term planning involves anticipating the future of present decisions. Our goal is to help you make present decisions—informed, confident choices—about the wealth you've worked so hard to achieve.
A Comprehensive Approach to Wealth Management
Your family's wealth goes far beyond stocks, bonds and cash. Your wealth may include a family business, real estate holdings, an art collection, philanthropic endeavors, your involvement in the community and even the time you spend together as a family. All of these things matter and should be incorporated into any wealth management strategy.
A Deep Understanding of the Dynamics of Family Wealth
As a multi-generational team of dedicated financial professionals, we know that managing family wealth is a big responsibility. But, it's not one that you have to shoulder alone. By combining our diverse experience, knowledge and perspectives with the resources of one of the world's leading financial firms, we help you organize, simplify and manage your financial life, so you can focus on what really matters—leading a purposeful life and having a generational impact.
A Commitment to Your Family's Financial Wellbeing
Like you, we are stewards of your wealth. We make time to listen to what's important to you, and we are relentless in helping you achieve financial wellbeing through all the chapters of your life. Wealth planning is far more than a series of transactions—it's a long-term relationship, built on trust, communication and a coordinated effort that involves your entire family and all of your professional advisors.
Our commitment to making a meaningful difference in our clients' lives is how we measure success.

2When 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.

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.

Alternative investments are appropriate only for qualified, long-term investors who are willing to forgo liquidity and put capital at risk for an indefinite period of time.
