My Story and Services

To me, wealth is about more than money, true wealth is about your life and the things you value most. As a wealth manager, I make this belief a reality by structuring my approach with four key elements: putting clients first, doing the right thing, leading with exceptional ideas, and giving back. Our relationship begins with listening to understand what you care about most. We then form strategies to align your investments with your priorities, goals, and beliefs while balancing risk and return to ensure your financial security. You will stay well informed through a customized communications program that provides regular perspectives on the market and economy and reinforces the expectations set forth in your financial plan.

Preparation is critical to success which has led me to undergo rigorous training to provide the best outcomes for my clients. As a Certified Investment Management Analyst (CIMA®) and Senior Portfolio Manager, I apply in-depth knowledge of capital markets and portfolio construction and leverage the vast resources of Morgan Stanley to personally managing my clients’ investment assets. As a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER (CFP®), I take a holistic view of my clients’ finances that goes beyond investments to form a comprehensive plan for all their wealth. And as a Morgan Stanley Family Wealth Advisor, I am positioned to handle complex situations unique to high-net-worth families and develop estate planning strategies to effectively transition their wealth to future generations.

After beginning my career as a financial advisor in 2010, I joined Morgan Stanley and formed The LeRose Group in 2013. I worked in partnership with Joan LeRose for seven years prior to her retirement in 2020. Together we built a thriving wealth management practice dedicated to the best interests of our clients. I am excited to be able to continue this important work with our clients moving forward.

I grew up in Racine, Wisconsin and attained a bachelor’s degree in Economics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I have also completed the Investment Management, Theory & Practice program at the Yale School of Management.

When not working, I enjoy reading, traveling, and volunteering to improve the lives of others. As a big believer in always challenging myself, I became a member of MENSA in 2012 and previously served as the Membership Officer for the state of Wisconsin. I am also a member of Roma Lodge and St. Stephen’s Church. I live in Oak Creek, Wisconsin with my wife Evelyn, and our children, Leonardo and Alma.

Focused on Your Success

Think of me as your personal Chief Financial Officer, supporting your business and family. Our financial planning process is geared toward what is most important to you and is centered around three main priorities:

1. Seek to preserve your assets
2. Align investments with your goals
3. Organize and simplify your finances

I am passionate about keeping you well informed and poised for success by providing exceptional ideas, personal service, and in-depth analysis of markets on a timely basis. I host a monthly conference call for all clients that addresses such topics as Social Security, market history and sustainable investing. Those calls are one component of the customized service plan we maintain for client relationships to stay connected. I will also hold proactive investment and planning discussions with you at the frequency that best suits your needs.

You will benefit from a disciplined investment process and custom-tailored financial strategies that leverage my training as a Senior Portfolio Manager. I generally manage assets on a discretionary basis, primarily through managed accounts and individual securities, communicating changes to your portfolio and how those support your long-term investment goals.

I am fortunate to work with an outstanding number of individuals, families, and businesses in the local community, with a broad focus on helping them plan for retirement. I serve quite a few health care professionals, including doctors, pharmacists and nurses. I have also developed an affinity for assisting individuals going through major life changes such as selling a closely held business, retiring from a successful career, marriage, death of a loved one or a divorce.

In addition to the emotional toll, a divorce can pose significant financial challenges. In most couples, one spouse manages the household finances while the other may not even know what or where they are. One of the most useful roles I can play in such situations is to help clients get organized, create an inventory of their assets, and explain the role of each retirement account or insurance policy. I can also work with their divorce attorney to help ensure proper treatment and titling of assets, management of trusts as well as tax planning strategies.

Feel free to listen in to one of my monthly conference calls, they are held on the third Thursday of the month at 10:00am CST. Phone Number (877) 777-0154; Participant Code 7277395#

3When Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC, its affiliates and Morgan Stanley Financial Advisors and Private Wealth Advisors (collectively, “Morgan Stanley”) provide “investment advice” regarding a retirement or welfare benefit plan account, an individual retirement account or a Coverdell education savings account (“Retirement Account”), Morgan Stanley is a “fiduciary” as those terms are defined under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), and/or the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), as applicable. When Morgan Stanley provides investment education, takes orders on an unsolicited basis or otherwise does not provide “investment advice”, Morgan Stanley will not be considered a “fiduciary” under ERISA and/or the Code. For more information regarding Morgan Stanley’s role with respect to a Retirement Account, please visit www.morganstanley.com/disclosures/dol. Tax laws are complex and subject to change. Morgan Stanley does not provide tax or legal advice. Individuals are encouraged to consult their tax and legal advisors (a) before establishing a Retirement Account, and (b) regarding any potential tax, ERISA and related consequences of any investments or other transactions made with respect to a Retirement Account. Individuals should consult their tax advisor for matters involving taxation and tax planning and their attorney for matters involving trust and estate planning, charitable giving, philanthropic planning and other legal matters.

7The 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.

11Physical precious metals are non-regulated products. Precious metals are speculative investments, which may experience short-term and long-term price volatility. The value of precious metals investments may fluctuate and may appreciate or decline, depending on market conditions. If sold in a declining market, the price you receive may be less than your original investment. Unlike bonds and stocks, precious metals do not make interest or dividend payments. Therefore, precious metals may not be appropriate for investors who require current income. Precious metals are commodities that should be safely stored, which may impose additional costs on the investor. The Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”) provides certain protection for customers’ cash and securities in the event of a brokerage firm’s bankruptcy, other financial difficulties, or if customers’ assets are missing. SIPC protection does not apply to precious metals or other commodities.
