My Story

In my past experience as CEO of a local bank-owned brokerage firm that specialized in trading and individual client investments, I desired to seek a better, more holistic way to serve the needs of an ever growing affluent clientele. My transition to a more client-centered, holistic planning approach and application has been both an informative and gratifying journey. Implementing a plan to grow and preserve generational wealth requires both a depth of understanding that only comes from experience and a dedication to finding a better way to enrich the lives of those whom I serve. Affluent families often have more complex needs that go beyond retirement to include issues surrounding closely held businesses, taxation and charitable and legacy considerations. My goal as an advisor is to empower and enrich the lives of my clients through encouraging dialogue, discernment and the implementation of a plan designed to address their unique goals and dynamic circumstances for generations to come.

5The returns on a portfolio consisting primarily of Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) aware investments may be lower or higher than a portfolio that is more diversified or where decisions are based solely on investment considerations. Because ESG criteria exclude some investments, investors may not be able to take advantage of the same opportunities or market trends as investors that do not use such criteria. Diversification does not guarantee a profit or protect against loss in a declining financial market.
