As a Financial Advisor and Certified Investment Management Analyst (CIMA) with more than 20 years of industry experience, my focus is on helping a select group of families, business owners, and professionals of closely held companies create and maintain a customized investment planning strategy that addresses their unique planning concerns. My deep commitment to my clients is defined by three core principles: a specialized team approach, a disciplined 4-pillar process, and excellent client care. These principles help ensure my clients’ confidence in their plan and that they have a clear understanding of their entire investment landscape.Prior to joining Wells Fargo Advisors, I worked for more than a decade as a financial advisor with Morgan Stanley, where I also served as the Assistant Branch Manager of their Carlsbad office for three years. Before entering the financial services industry, I earned a BA in Marketing and Finance from California State University, San Bernardino, and I was awarded the Investments and Wealth Institute’s CIMA designation from The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.I live in Carlsbad, CA, with my wife, Debby, and our three children. Away from the office, I enjoy flying, golfing, playing racquetball, and traveling. In addition, I currently serve as president for a local chapter of Boys & Girls Clubs of America.I welcome the opportunity to meet with you to discuss your situation, answer any questions, and mutually determine if there is a good fit for a working relationship.
