Managing your wealth begins with a deep understanding of your full financial picture. Based on what matters most to you, I can help create a strategy as flexible as today's changing market conditions, and I can provide access to the investment insights of Merrill and the banking convenience and lending solutions of Bank of America. I will work to help you pursue your goals through personalized wealth management strategies.
Community involvement is an integral part of how we interact with clients and communities. We are enthusiastically involved with volunteering and fundraising for organizations such as National Dance Institute (NDI). Let us show you how our professionalism and dedicated client service could benefit you and your family. Contact us at your earliest convenience.
I can help you make better financial decisions. And by working with me you will be more confident that you are making the right decisions. My approach is different and at the heart of my philosophy is getting you to take the right amount of risk given your unique circumstances. I find most investors either take too much risk or not enough.
My focus is on you and your goals. At Merrill we practice Goals Based Wealth Management (GBWM) and your personal goals drive our investment recommendations. This contrasts with traditional brokers who base their advice on how they predict the market will perform over the next few months or years.
An integral aspect of my practice is to listen intently to the questions my clients ask. I do this not only so I can answer in a thoughtful and respectful manner, but it also informs me of where their concerns lie. I am a teacher at heart and love to help other people learn. I'll leave the jargon and fast-talking to Wall Street types who just want your money.
I have extensive experience in the financial services industry and this is important to you because I use everything I know to help you be successful. I worked for over 30 years on Wall Street as a Research Analyst, Salesperson, Trader and Manager with some of the best firms in the industry including Lehman Brothers, First Boston, Swiss Bank and UBS. In these positions I was based all over the world including in New York, Tokyo, London, Chicago, and San Francisco.
In terms of formal training and experience I became a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) charterholder in 2001. I also hold various FINRA Registrations including the Series 3 (National Commodities Futures), Series 4 (Registered Options Principal), Series 7 (General Securities Representative), Series 8 (General Securities Sales Supervisor), Series 24 (General Securities Principal), Series 63 (Uniform Securities Agent State Law) & Series 65 (Uniform Investment Advisor Law).
