About

The most important things to me are TRUST, INTEGRITY, my FAITH, my FAMILY and the DILIGENCE I take in caring for my CLIENTS! These key characteristics allow me to: -Achieve TRUSTED ADVISOR status showing genuine care for my clients wellbeing. -Construct an advice model showing INTEGRITY through fee-based pricing so that clients know MY goals align with THEIR goals and I am trying to sell them anything. -Treat others the way I would want to be treated whether that be with my FAMILY, being involved with my FAITH or taking care of a client’s needs whether I am getting paid or not. My modern wealth management approach began at Merrill Lynch, continued at Morgan Stanley grew through my 18 years at Charles Schwab where I completed my CFP designation, built a robust client portfolio valued at nearly $700M, created client-centered portfolios focused on risk management, portfolio construction, asset allocation, investment placement, tax loss harvesting and enduring confidence in my advice knowing I DILIGENTLY research financial-changing events from multiple sources that may affect my client’s goals or portfolios. LASTLY, my education and experience allows me to confidently manage High Net Worth (HNW) and Ultra-High Net Worth CLIENTS achieve their goals and leave a legacy for their family or chosen charity.
