Profile

Managing your wealth begins with a deep understanding of your full financial picture. At its core, my role as a Financial Advisor is about building relationships with clients to provide comprehensive financial support. As a part of this approach, I have a strong biased to provide a holistic financial outlook for each client.

My practice is built on helping successful, hard working professionals manage their financial life through identifying and resolving financial blind spots by offering tailored wealth planning strategies through leveraging the investment management capabilities of Merrill Lynch Wealth Management and the banking and lending solutions of Bank of America.

Through working with my clients on simplifying their financial life I give time back so they can have the emotional bandwidth to focus on what matters most to them. Essentially, through wealth planning, I help answer the question "will I make it" and work to understand what the "it" is in your life.

I follow the deep-seated Merrill tradition of participating in the communities we serve. This drives my interest in spending time volunteering with organizations in our community. As apart of this tradition, I have devoted time to volunteering as a tutor with Tutoring Chicago and participating in the Chicago Community Trust's Young Leaders Fund initiative.

About Me

Welcome

My mission, first and foremost, is to understand you and what matters most to you. Armed with that information I can ask thoughtful questions -- listening carefully, then understanding in detail where your wealth stands today and where you'd like it to be tomorrow. I help you design and implement a personalized plan intended to help you and your family pursue financial goals while helping manage investment risk. My approach is to focus on potential solutions that can help turn goals into reality.
