His professional credentials demonstrate a deep, holistic level of investment knowledge, a commitment to a disciplined approach and an ability to create and monitor customized portfolios and investment strategies.

My Approach
I believe that identifying financial solutions begins with a solid understanding of each clients' goals, objectives, and risk tolerance. I follow a disciplined process that enables me to work with you to help meet your financial needs.
Step 1: Introductory Meeting
I offer an introductory meeting to see if there is a match between myself and potential clients.
Step 2: Discovery Meeting
This in-depth conversation provides me with the opportunity to get to know you and your family, so that I may potentially develop strategies and customize the relationship to help best meet your needs.
Step 3: Financial Planning
Every client is provided with a financial plan and goal analysis. Doing this allows me to understand my clients' goals. If a client does not feel comfortable with this process, I would not be able to have a comprehensive understanding of their full financial picture and therefore cannot help them.
Step 4: Asset Allocation
Once client goals are determined, I will be able to create and maintain a proper asset allocation for each client.
Step 5: Professional Coordination
I will coordinate with your family's Estate Lawyer, CPA, and other Persons of Influence.
Step 6: Quarterly Review
All clients will receive a Quarterly Review to go over their current financial situation to see if any part of their financial plan needs to be updated.
Step 7: Annual In-Person Meeting
All clients will receive an annual in-person meeting where we will have an in-depth meeting to go over your financial plans and goals. This will allow me to continue optimizing your strategy on an ongoing basis.
Step 8: Children & Beneficiaries
I ask that all children and beneficiaries be involved in the planning process to encourage education and a smooth transition of each clients' estate. This will help me to get to know your entire family on a deeper and more holistic level going forward.
Step 9: Legacy
I believe and encourage all clients to incorporate legacy and charitable giving into their financial plans.
Step 10: Ongoing Assessment
In coordination with your other advisors, I can conduct ongoing reviews and comprehensive reporting to ensure that your strategy adapts to changing financial and family needs.

Morgan Stanley Wealth Management Financial Advisers can conduct their business in several ways: individually, as a member of a team of Financial Advisors, or through the formation of a Strategic Partnership with another Financial Advisor or team of Financial Advisors. A Strategic Partnership is an arrangement between a Financial Advisor or a team of Financial Advisors with another Financial Advisor or team of Financial Advisors that has a unique focus or knowledge regarding a specific business concentration, product area, and/or client type. If your account is with an individual Financial Advisor, that Financial Advisor services all facets of your account. If your account is with a Financial Advisor who is a member of a team, any Financial Advisor on the team can service your account. If your Financial Advisor is part of a Strategic Partnership, his or her role in that Strategic Partnership may be limited to a specific business and/or product area and may not cover all facets of your account. The use of the terms “Partner” or “Strategic Partner” and/or “Partnership” or “Strategic Partnership” are used as terms of art and not used to imply or connote any legal relationship.
