Value statement

I work with individuals, families and businesses to help them effectively invest their capital, using strategies that match their stage of life; to accumulate and grow assets or generate income, as well as preserve and transfer their wealth to the next generation.

My clients are typically accumulating wealth for retirement, preparing a plan to use their assets during retirement or are currently retired and looking to generate income and preserve long-term purchasing power.

My commitment to my clients is to provide, with integrity and honesty, trusted financial advice and investment management, and use my 30 years of industry experience and close observation of the markets to generate successful results. Further, my assistant, Susan Clark, and I are dedicated to providing our clients with exceptional service that exceeds expectations.

• Moody's Aa1 and A1 / stable⁴
• Standard & Poor's AA- and A / stable⁴

Investment philosophy

My equity strategy centers around buying high quality companies with a solid long-term outlook, when short-term conditions, either market related or company specific, create an attractive entry price. I believe that income is an important aspect of total return and therefore seek stocks with an attractive dividend profile and utilize covered call writing to manufacture additional return.

My fixed income strategy focuses on a core high quality bond ladder, which may include municipal bonds, CD’s or corporate bonds. I will often supplement this portfolio with funds that invest in high yield corporate or foreign bonds, to provide yield enhancement and diversification to the bond portfolio.
