I use my 30+ years of experience in the investment business to allocate and manage clients' "important money". I have been through multiple recessions, wars, rumors of wars, bear markets, bull markets, "irrational exuberance" and I've learned some hard , but valuable lessons along the way. I bring these understandings into each relationship.Securities offered through Sigma Financial Corporation, member FINRA (www.FINRA.org) and SIPC (http://www.SIPC.org).

At H&R Block I partnered with Tax Professionals to address the needs of their most valued clients. I helped families, individuals and business owners implement strategies for savings, college funding, insurance and retirement/benefit planning.

This was a very volatile period with the internet boom/bust, Alan Greenspan's Federal Reserve tenure and the near disastrous collapse of Long Term Capital Credit. I gained valuable insights concerning hedging and asset allocation. These disciplines are still vitally important today.

At Bear Stearns I got first hand experience working with large investors. I did brokerage business with stocks and bonds. I actively traded Financial, Currency and Interest Rate Futures.

I was fortunate to begin my career at AG Edwards. I benefited from their training. During this early time I established relationships with individuals and small businesses.
