My Story and Services

With over 38 years of experience in financial services, Patrick has guided clients through every kind of market environment, helping them build, preserve, and grow their wealth across generations. His mission is simple: to help empower individuals and families to help them achieve their financial goals through strategic, personalized advice and planning.

Patrick began his career in 1987, earning his licenses the week of the historic market crash— an event which shaped his disciplined and resilient approach to financial advising. Patrick has since built strong relationships with both retail and institutional clients alike.

Whether you're planning retirement, managing multi-generational wealth, or seeking sophisticated investment strategies, Patrick begins every relationship by fully understanding your life's priorities. His comprehensive advisory approach integrates investment planning, risk management, and legacy considerations to evolve your financial plan with you.

In addition to his work with families and individual investors, Patrick brings deep institutional and transactional experience. He leverages the firms robust capabilities in capital markets, corporate cash management, and institutional pricing and execution.

Patrick is passionate about helping clients not only preserve their finances but help grow them with clarity and confidence.

Outside the office, Patrick enjoys training, golfing, and biking. He's an avid University of Michigan football fan. Patrick lives in Farmington Hills with his wife, Carolyn. They have two adult sons, Nicholas and Alex.
