Biography


I am President of Zuraw Financial Advisors, in Greensboro, North Carolina, a Registered Investment Adviser with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission with over $250 million under management. My 30 years of professional experience is in portfolio management, primarily stock investments. I have a strong focus on working with families to help develop a plan to best protect their financial futures as they transition through different stages of their lives. Having grown up in a family that taught me about managing money from a young age, I understand the concerns families face as they build and manage their assets. I served for 25 years on the board of a family-owned real estate company before its sale in 2007. At Zuraw Financial Advisors, we are utilizing trust infrastructures for families to protect and grow their assets. Please call me today for more information or to schedule a consultation to discuss your personal objectives at (336) 496-8961.
