About Me

For me, retirement planning means more than providing our clients with investment advice- it means helping them maintain the financial independence they've worked their entire lives to achieve. With the uncertainty of Social Security benefits and the rising cost of living, it has become more important than ever to have a retirement plan in place.
By taking a proactive approach to your retirement, we can help you secure a fulfilling future for yourself and your loved ones.
With a focus on retirement, the team advises clients on both the accumulation and distribution phases of retirement planning. As clients approach retirement they are transitioned from a focus on accumulation and growth to a strategy designed to help generate income while maintaining a comfortable lifestyle.

As a husband and father of three living on Long Island, I firmly understand the challenges of balancing current and future financial goals. For over 20 years, I have worked with my clients and their families to secure their financial futures while helping them maintain their desired lifestyles. During that time, I had the honor of serving as a Morgan Stanley Branch Manager, which improved my ability to think strategically and make difficult decisions.

When you work with me, you benefit from all of my personal and professional experience, as well as all of the resources that Morgan Stanley has to offer.

The Changing Landscape of Retirement Planning

What may have once been considered a sure thing simply isn't anymore. As the number of traditional defined benefit plans with built in guaranteed income decline dramatically, Americans must increasingly rely increasingly on other investment vehicles to adequately save for retirement- which can be timely to manage and complex to optimize.

In light of these trends, I have dedicated my practice to helping individuals and couples maximize their retirement savings through careful planning and custom building strategies to help you reach your goals. My approach to retirement planning uses a combination of several tools:
    Icon Image
    Goals Planning System and LifeView
    As a financial advisor at Morgan Stanley, I have access to a world class suite of planning tools, including the Goals Planning System and LifeView. The Goals Planning System and LifeView platforms tie goals to implementation, leveraging intellectual capital and sophisticated institutional capabilities.

    Ultimately, these platforms empower me to keep your financial objectives on target and efficient, and allow me to manage several factors which contribute to a successful retirement plan: helping reduce the impact of taxes, better manage your portfolio, preparing your future, savings for the next generation, investing for positive change, and building healthy money habits.

    Social Security
    Deciding when is the right time to start receiving social security benefits is critical to an effective retirement strategy, and there are more considerations than you may think. Some key factors to think about include:
    - age
    - health
    - current employment
    - marital status.

    With proper planning and implementation, we can work together to set you up for the best chance of success in your retirement.

    Individual Retirement Account (IRA)
    Traditional IRAs feature tax deferred growth potential, using the your current tax rate at the time of withdrawal . Additionally, IRAs do not tax capital gains, and taxes on dividends are not assessed.
    Icon Image
    Variable Annuities
    When used together, variable annuities may reduce the risk in a retirement plan- since they have the potential to offer higher payouts than other investments, they include principal payments and income, and income from a variable annuity is guaranteed for life.
