Our families, our values, the impact we have on others – these are the important things.  It can be hard making sense of it all but asking the right questions can make things clearer.  So when I talk to you about wealth management, I want to learn about those life questions that may be on your mind.  “Will my family be OK when I’m gone?  Should I start my own business?  Is it better to leave my kids everything?   Or nothing?  How do I set up a charitable fund?”  Together, we can find the answers.

Whatever your answer, we can help you create a financial plan to address your priorities.  Over the past 34 years, I have put my experience to work for each of my clients, helping them find the best way forward to pursue the goals that truly matter.

These are the two questions I start every meeting with. Over the last several years, I've worked with high net worth and highly compensated clients developing goal driven financial plans and investment strategies for themselves, their families, and their businesses.

Coming from a family of teachers, educating and empowering my clients to make their financial decisions with confidence is at the core of what I do.
