Senior Vice President - Financial Advisor, Portfolio Manager - Portfolio Focus
My goal is to have my clients achieve their financial security and live out their dreams. I teach the individuals, corporate plan sponsors and the employees I work with to be good stewards of their wealth and active philanthropists, and I help them build their wealth in a manner suitable to their values and expectations.
A successful investment strategy originates and reflects your core beliefs and carefully balances that with your tolerance for risk. I can help you make the decisions that reflect your values and create wealth in a sustainable way. How do we do this? I recommend a strategic asset allocation that is a broadly diversified portfolio of stocks, bonds, cash and alternatives. I will add non-traditional strategies as appropriate to help take advantage of the upside, yet still provide some protection on the downside. I believe diversification is an important risk mitigator, but over-diversification mutes returns. I use technical analysis to take the emotion out of investing and to help make the decision of when to buy or sell. Lastly, I invest for the long term with the goal of allowing my clients to achieve their retirement goals and to never outlive their money.
As an Accredited Investment Fiduciary (AIF) I serve my clients as their personal CFO: we work together to manage assets in a responsible and thoughtful way. When you work with my group, we serve as a single and fully accountable point of contact, providing access to our team of specialists and resources.

Interest rates will … fluctuate; your investment strategy shouldn’t
The U.S. central bank is an incredibly powerful institution that can exert influence on essentially any U.S. dollar-denominated asset. However, we believe the Fed is also widely misunderstood.
Diversifying your income sources prior to retirement can impact your overall lifetime tax bill.
Wisdom compares life to a journey – it’s also apt for retirement. Retirement is more like a decades-long odyssey around the world than a summer spent learning to sail. Careful planning tantamount to living comfortably and not running out of money.
