My Mission Statement
With a deep understanding of your financial priorities, we provide objective, high-quality advice and customized strategies to help manage your assets in every type of market environment
My Story
In today’s busy world, the one commodity successful individuals are increasingly short on is time. They realize that by working with a seasoned financial advisor to help them oversee the various moving parts of their finances, they can focus on the things they do best, and the people and passions they care about most.
For more than 25 years, I have been helping affluent individuals manage their wealth more effectively. I know how to get to the heart of what matters most to them and their families. In fact, I’ve built my practice around customizing financial solutions for successful individuals just like you.
As we begin to work together, we believe you will experience a forward-thinking approach that sets us apart. We touch the markets every day and have incorporated a sophisticated framework into our disciplined process. The result? Fresh, strategic ideas that challenge conventional solutions to help you generate additional income while managing risk.
In short, we believe wealth management means much more than giving investment advice. It means deeply understanding a thorough and detailed view of your values and investment philosophy. This requires trust and a commitment to providing quality recommendations. Above all, it entails serving as your financial advisory team through every one of the market’s ups and downs, helping you make appropriate decisions based on your particular goals and circumstances.
It’s easy to achieve results in a bull market, but what truly separates exceptional advisors from good advisors is their ability to make sound financial recommendations when the markets become more volatile. We have the extensive knowledge and experience – coupled with the deep resources and scale of Morgan Stanley – to help empower you to make smarter choices about your wealth in any market environment.

Over the past 25 years, I have developed a strong and active practice. To ensure every client has a personalized experience, I am committed to serving the financial needs of a diverse group of clients:
•Multi-generational families
•Wealthy individuals in need of an experienced professional
•Business owners and entrepreneurs
•Individuals planning for retirement
•People experiencing a significant liquidity or life event, such as the sale of a business, an inheritance, and divorce
While each client has specific financial goals and circumstances, all have one thing in common: They’ve accumulated significant assets and need help developing a comprehensive and cohesive wealth strategy that generates growth and income, while effectively managing risk.

Working With You
When planning a journey, it’s best to map out a plan in advance to arrive at your final destination as easily and quickly as possible. The same is true when planning for your financial future.
By understanding where you are today – your “A” on the proverbial journey – and where you want to go – your “B” – we map out a tailored strategy to help get there as planned. If we anticipate a detour along the way, we strive to proactively re-route our guidance so you can achieve your goals in the most efficient way possible.
Here is a brief overview of the disciplined process we follow to help build and preserve your wealth on your road to financial success.

If we anticipate a detour along the way, we strive to proactively re-route our guidance so you can achieve your goals in the most efficient way possible.
Here is a brief overview of the disciplined process we follow to help build and preserve your wealth on your road to financial success.
1. Establish Financial Objectives
We begin with a thorough consultation where we ask a number of detailed questions about you and your family, your core values, your current investment strategy and what keeps you up at night. We then establish a set of objectives based on your financial goals, time horizon, liquidity needs and tolerance to volatility and risk.
2. Define Investment Strategy
Based on your objectives, we develop an investment strategy aimed at achieving your specific goals. This often includes managing risk, while generating additional income from your portfolio.
3. Evaluate and Select Investments
With your objectives set, we leverage our experience, relationships and the global resources of Morgan Stanley to determine appropriate investments to implement your strategy. We primarily invest in blue-chip companies; names you know and use every day.
4. Ongoing Review Process
We then monitor your portfolio to track its performance relative to your stated objectives – and to modify the portfolio as your needs and circumstances change over time.
Core Values
The best relationships are built on trust, understanding and shared values. We believe a disciplined investment philosophy and process are critical to achieving your goals – especially in today’s complex market environment. To that end, we are committed to the following core values:
Long-Standing Relationships
We build deep client relationships, based on trust and integrity. We do this by working with a select group of individuals and families. This enables us to dedicate the time, attention and personalized service each deserves.
A Thoughtful, Disciplined Approach
Markets are irrational and unpredictable. We avoid recommendations based on fear or greed and utilize disciplined investment strategies that are aligned with your goals and tolerance for risk.
Eating Our Own Cooking
There are two ways to best understand client needs: 1) meet with them regularly and 2) be one of them. Constant communication leads to better understanding and more rewarding relationships. In addition to spending quality time with our clients on a regular basis, we utilize the same strategies that we recommend for them.
Total Balance Sheet Management
Your satisfaction is our priority. We are committed to providing a holistic approach to all of your financial needs. From investment management to retirement funding to legacy planning, we want to be your first phone call for any major financial decision.
Service Excellence
Our clients deserve a team of experienced professionals, who shares their vision, earns their trust and works diligently to create a customized investment portfolio. They have learned to depend on our deep understanding of the world’s financial markets and our commitment to an ongoing dialogue to ensure clarity and comprehension.
