Knowledge, experience, leadership And the confidence to pursue your goals

My practice is focused on private clients, foundations/endowments, trust accounts and retirement plans.

My Wall Street career began in September 1994, when I was hired by Smith Barney, (currently Morgan Stanley Smith Barney), as a Financial Advisor.

In September 2012, I transitioned my wealth management practice to UBS Financial Services, Inc., 1285 Avenue of the Americas branch, located in New York City.

In addition, I am a host and sponsor for Continuing Education Credits for Certified Public Accountants, licensed by New York State Education Department, State Board for Public Accountancy.
