Biography
I have been very fortunate to work as a trusted financial advisor for the last 30 years. My career began in the practice of law—first as a civil litigator and then as a federal prosecutor—but an underlying passion for the financial markets eventually drew me into the world of investing. In 1990, I founded Westmount Asset Management with my father in Los Angeles. Together, we envisioned a firm that combined a broad and strong service offering with the knowledge and expertise of the brightest minds in the business, without bias or conflicts of interest.
Today, clients come to Westmount for objective investment advice and expert guidance on achieving their financial goals. We have particular expertise in providing clients access to attractive opportunities in the private markets as a way to supplement their traditional stock and bond exposures.
Our innovative investment platform is complemented by a thoughtful financial planning approach and rigorous manager research. Most importantly, our firm remains independent and steadfastly dedicated to representing and protecting our clients’ best interests.
As Westmount's Chairman, I help drive our firm's overall vision and strategy, and guide our investment process and asset allocation decisions as a member of the Investment Committee. I also continue to advise clients on a variety of planning and investment topics, including retirement planning, wealth transfer, investments and charitable giving.
