My Mission Statement
We help high-achieving families build on entrepreneurial success to pursue their visions of successful lives.
Our Story
Welcome
We are an experienced team of wealth management professionals who serve a select clientele of entrepreneurially-minded executives and venture capitalists. Nearly all of our clients have created significant wealth through their involvement in successful technology and healthcare enterprises, or are currently in the process of doing so. We offer an experienced perspective and specialized resources needed to address the complex wealth management issues that arise from these professional achievements.
While you may share similar opportunities and challenges with the families we serve, your vision of a successful life is yours and yours alone. Our goal is to reach a deep understanding of your family’s needs and aspirations, and help you create and implement a holistic plan to achieve your goals. We will work closely with your attorney, accountant and other advisors to ensure that our efforts are well-coordinated. We strive to stay on top of every detail of your financial life so that you can focus on your business, your family and whatever else adds meaning to your life.
We look forward to learning more about you and your family, and to discussing how we can help you achieve your goals. To begin the conversation, please contact us.

1 Morgan Stanley Wealth Management, December, 2023
Source: Barron's.com (April 2023) 2023 Barron's Top 100 Financial Advisors awarded in 2023. This ranking was determined based on an evaluation process conducted by Barron's during the period from Dec 2020 - Dec 2021. Neither Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC nor its Financial Advisors or Private Wealth Advisors paid a fee to Barron's to obtain or use the ranking. This ranking is based on in-person and telephone due diligence meetings to evaluate each advisor qualitatively, a major component of a ranking algorithm that includes client retention, industry experience, review of compliance records, firm nominations, and quantitative criteria, including assets under management and revenue generated for their firms. Investment performance is not a criterion. Rankings are based on the opinions of Barron's and this ranking may not be representative of any one client’s experience. This ranking is not indicative of the Financial Advisor’s future performance. Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC is not affiliated with Barron's.

Approach
Discovery Process
Investing the time to learn about you and your family; your assets and liabilities and the risk exposures, enables us to formulate strategies and customize the relationship to your needs.
Formulation of Tax, Trust and Estate Strategy
Working with your tax and legal advisors, we help analyze your income and estate tax circumstances to identify and tailor planning techniques that may be used to address your objectives.
Creation of Customized Strategic Asset Allocation
Your customized asset allocation reflects risk, opportunities and taxation across multiple entities, while integrating your investing and estate plans.
Integration of Tactical Asset Allocation
Short-term adjustments seek to capitalize on temporary market distortions. Before making adjustments, we analyze the impact of taxes and trading costs on potential returns.
Implementation of a Customized Wealth Strategy
After comprehensive due diligence and analysis of expected results across multiple market scenarios, strategies are chosen from our expansive investment platform.
Ongoing Assessment
In coordination with your other advisors, we can conduct ongoing reviews and comprehensive reporting to ensure that your strategy adapts to changing financial and family needs.
