Biography


For twenty years I have been helping clients simplify their financial lives, improve their standard of living and sleep well at night! Their money is invested as if it were my own, but with their objectives in mind. All securities are purchased and sold without commissions, avoiding any possible conflicts of interests. The only product I sell is exceptional service, unbiased investment management, and sound investment strategies. We stay in frequent contact with you to keep you informed and for us to remain up-to-date on your financial requirements. All calls are returned the same day. On a personal level: My love for financial management began at an early age, after winning the stock-picking contest in high school. I couple this love with my financial planning and investment management experiences at Bell Labs, AT&T and Edward Jones to help individuals simplify and improve their financial lives. I am an avid photographer, play tennis, love animals and have one wife, two kids and two cats.
