My Mission Statement
Helping you in family wealth planning for your family’s unique goals
My Story
With over 28 years in wealth management Ron is uniquely qualified to help high net-worth individuals and families simplify and address what can often be complex financial planning and investment issues. "I believe that wealth planning when done correctly can make a significant positive impact in clients lives. Next to taking care of their own health, proper financial planning is one of the most important things a client can do for themselves and their families."
Having worked his way up through Morgan Stanley over the years, Ron currently serves as First Vice-President and Senior Portfolio Manager as well as having been awarded the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ and Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor designations. Ron is also one of a select few Morgan Stanley advisors awarded the Alternatives Investment Director title, a special designation for advisors who have significant knowledge and expertise in alternative investments – those investments that fall outside of traditional portfolio construction protocols.
Ron graduated from Baylor University in Waco, Texas with a degree in Finance and has been married to Shelly for 25 years. Their two teenagers Luke and Zoe attend Foundation Academy competing in a number of sports as well as on the robotics team and student government. The family attends Mosaic Church in Winter Garden.

2022 Tax Tables
This helpful resource outlines the 2022 tax rate schedule, education and health savings account limits, retirement contribution and deduction limits, among other information. With tax season seemingly always right around the corner, it's best to be as informed as possible.
Insurance
We take an extremely close look at your financial profile to decipher what type(s) of insurance most fit your needs and determine if your current insurance policies are best suited for you and your goals.
Manage Debt
We thoroughly review your mortgage, car loans, credit cards, and any other debts that you may have in order to help determine where you can save on interest and create a timeline for your debt payments by prioritizing which ones should be paid off first.
Retirement
Leading up to and through retirement, we help you identify the most appropriate ways to obtain the income you need and help ensure that you are on track to achieve for financial goals.
Managing Investments
We take care of your retirement accounts and other investments based on your comfort level with risk and your current tax circumstances, tailoring your financial strategy to your unique situation, needs, and goals.
MY FIVE STEP PROCESS
At Morgan Stanley, we believe that identifying solutions begins with a solid understanding of each situation, goals, objectives, and risk tolerance. We follow a disciplined process that allows us to work with you to craft a solution that helps your individual financial needs:
Step 1: Introduction Call
Our relationship begins with an initial discussion aimed towards getting to know you, your lifestyle, and your future goals.
Step 2. Understanding You Meeting
We will work together to establish your financial goals by first reviewing your current financial situation and developing an appropriate risk tolerance that can help you achieve the financial outcome you envision for yourself.
Step 3. Strategy Development
This is our time to utilize the information you have provided and our modern wealth management tools to develop a unique strategy. Our strategies are always personalized to provide recommendations to help you grow, preserve, and transfer your wealth.
Step 4. Presentation & Implementation
For this step, we will present the personalized plans that are designed to work towards the objectives we had set. Once you understand and approve the strategy, we will take the necessary steps to open accounts with Morgan Stanley and start to implement our investment plan.
Step 5. Ongoing Service
Finally, monitoring your assets and analyzing your performance tracking data seeking to ensure your financial expectations are being met and adjusted accordingly. We will keep a high degree of communication with you to make sure your concern and request are always addressed.
