My Story and Services

Providing employees the right to purchase company stock is one of the most important things a company can offer, for it establishes trust, appreciation and belonging. I believe it's one of the most important factors within Corporate Offerings and more specifically Morgan Stanley at Work.

I believe that individuals flourish in their personal and business lives when they are given to opportunity to access advice and knowledge and feel valued.

I have chosen to devote my career to helping individuals to strive towards their best selves and have found through Equity, Retirement and Financial Wellness, I have the incredible opportunity to influence the lives of so many more people than the average financial advisor through the corporate stock plans, retirement plans and financial well-being programs myself and my team oversee.

As successful as our team has been in serving our companies and their employees, in many ways we feel as though our work is just beginning. Please reach out to us if you…

• Are a Plan Sponsor
• Have a role in overseeing your company plan
• Know of a company that might be dissatisfied with the corporate equity solutions, retirement plan and financial wellness services they are receiving
• Are a goal-oriented individual investor who would appreciate the advice of someone who offers institutional-level investment insights to many top private and public companies

I am honored to be featured on America's Top 1,200 Advisors by Barron's Magazine from 2012-2018. The prestigious honor is selectively awarded to financial advisors who've met Barron's high standards for assets under management, revenue generated, quality of practice and overall client satisfaction.
