Our Story and Services
Our wealth management approach focuses on you. your family and your career - where you are today and where you want to go. Working together, we develop the strategies to help get you there, navigating life's challenges and helping you make more informed decisions about your wealth.
We begin with an informal conversation to understand your financial concerns and determine how we can add value. We continue the dialogue by fostering an in-depth conversation where we learn about the values that shape your decisions and identify any unique circumstances.
After we understand what you want, we'll create a plan aimed to help simplify and organize your finances, to help create the most appropriate plan for your situation. We'll present appropriate strategies that are designed to work together to help achieve your goals. Upon your approval, we open new accounts for you at Morgan Stanley and implement your plan. Your planning doesn't end there; we'll continue the planning process on an ongoing basis to update and track your progress over time.
OUR CLIENTS UNDERSTAND THAT DECISIONS THEY MAKE AROUND COMPANY STOCK AND OPTIONS ARE SOME OF THE MOST CONSEQUENTIAL THEY'LL FACE IN THEIR FINANCIAL LIFE.

• Can I afford to leave my company. and how should plan for that?
• What the heck is the Alternative Minimum Tax
