Through integrity, knowledge, and dedication I develop lifelong relationships that focus on my clients' best interests, while always being available for their daily financial needs.My Story:I have always had a passion for helping others, especially in regards to finance, education, and planning. I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to join Morgan Stanley during the 2008 financial crisis. The reason I say "fortunate" is that many people needed assistance with understanding what was happening and what the best decisions were for their personal financial needs. Serving my clients, along with those that are financially important to them motivates me and gives me purposeful, driven fulfillment. As a Certified Financial Planner™ and Portfolio Management Director with over 16 years of experience at Morgan Stanley, I hold myself to a very high standard when it comes to organizing my clients’ financial lives. My ideal client represents two categories in two major phases: wealth accumulators hard at work and busy taking care of their families, who are in need of a personal relationship with a Financial Advisor/ CFP®; and those in retirement seeking wealth preservation and an income plan that makes sense for their personal financial needs and goals. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my wife and our two amazing daughters. Mountain biking and surfing with clients and friends are also some of my favorite things to do. Areas of Focus: Retirement, Income, Investment, Estate Planning Strategies, and Insurance Planning.
