Profile

As a Merrill Wealth Management Advisor, my objective is to develop goals-based financial advisory relationships that address each client’s unique investment needs. I promote a systematic approach to planning and investing consistent with each client’s investment goals, risk/reward tolerance, time horizon and liquidity needs.

Through Merrill, I provide access to a wide array of financial services including customized wealth management strategies, retirement planning, estate planning services, college funding, insurance services. Access to banking services through Bank of America, N.A. I also provide advice and guidance pertaining to concentrated stock positions, company stock options, and alternative investment strategies when appropriate. In conjunction with these services, I am supported by specialists and access to BofA Global Research.

I earned my B.S. degree in Finance from Seton Hall University in 1995. I have been in the financial services industry since 1995 and have been working with Merrill Lynch Wealth Management since early 2009. I hold the Series 7, 9, 10, 24, 31, 63 & 65 FINRA registrations as well as the life/health insurance license in NJ & FL. I hold the Investments & Wealth Institute’s Certified Private Wealth Advisor® (CPWA)designation.

Residing in Edison, I am a lifetime resident of Middlesex County, New Jersey. I am married and have two daughters. I am an avid golfer and a member of the Metuchen Golf & Country Club.
