I began my career in the financial services industry at a major Wall Street wire-house in January of 2000 where I earned the firm’s internal designation of CFM (Certified Financial Manager). While there, I developed a client base of individuals and small business owners, focusing primarily on investing their assets. As Wall Street firms were focusing most of their resources on investment banking relationships with large corporations, I sought out a smaller firm better aligned to serve my client’s needs. In January of 2003, I moved my practice to a company that was well suited to work with my clientele. In the spring of 2007 that company was bought out by a major global bank. The ability to serve clients began to get smothered by corporate directives and sales quotas. During the financial crisis of October 2008, that bank was bought out by another bank, compounding the madness.

This business isn’t just about investments. And it certainly shouldn’t be about the banks. This business is about people; real people with real needs, real goals and real concerns. It is my belief that whether you are a large corporation or a small business, a seasoned investor or someone just starting out, each of you deserves the services of a well-qualified financial advisor. Because of this belief, I sought out a company that supports and enhances these objectives.

I look forward to working with you.
