He earned a Bachelor of Arts in Economics from Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts in 1988 and in 1992, he and his wife, Nancy relocated to Anchorage, where he began his career as a Financial Consultant with Shearson Lehman Brothers. Over the decades that followed, he continued to serve clients through the firm’s evolution—including subsequent transitions involving Smith Barney and, ultimately, Morgan Stanley Wealth Management—maintaining continuity of advice and a focus on disciplined, client-centered planning. His practice supports a broad range of client needs, including investment management, retirement planning, estate and legacy considerations, lending, cash management and coordination with clients’ tax and legal professionals as appropriate.
