"We are all living an unfinished story, wanting to end up in an amazing place. What does that place look like for you? Do you know how to get there?"Born and raised in the south suburbs of Chicago, I connected early in life with music, languages, numbers and psychology. My father was a business executive with a Ph.D. in Finance and my mother a musician—while both have a Ph.D. in Psychology. I have explored my passions for music, foreign languages, and martial arts throughout my life, including while living in Spain, Brazil, Italy, France and Japan. Teaching English in these countries, I learned how to connect with other cultures and became fluent in the local languages. I also played music with the founders of the Bossa Nova movement in Rio de Janeiro and trained in Jiu Jitsu with both branches of the Gracie clan. In 1999, I moved to Los Angeles to teach Portuguese language and Brazilian literature at UCLA. In 2001 I became a financial advisor to empower people to connect their wealth with their passions as related to their family, career, creativity and free time. I seek to use my spirit of creativity and connection as I learn about what makes you unique and translate your goals and passions into concrete investment plans for your future. In my free time, I enjoy traveling with my family, playing Brazilian music on the guitar and jazz on the piano, walking on the beach and in nature, reading, and playing tennis. I am also a magician member of the Academy of Magical Arts, Inc. at the Magic Castle in Hollywood, CA.
