Data provided by SHOOK® Research, LLC. Forbes Best-in-State Wealth Advisors ranking was developed by SHOOK Research and is based on in-person, virtual, and telephone due diligence meetings to measure best practices; also considered are: client retention, industry experience, credentials, review of compliance records, firm nominations; and quantitative criteria, such as: assets under management and revenue generated for their firms. Investment performance is not a criterion because client objectives and risk tolerances vary, and advisors rarely have audited performance reports. SHOOK’s research and rankings provide opinions intended to help investors choose the right financial advisor and are not indicative of future performance or representative of any one client’s experience. Past performance is not an indication of future results. Neither Forbes nor SHOOK Research receive compensation in exchange for placement on the ranking.

Since the start of Kevin’s career, he has helped many physicians, senior corporate executives, and successful business owners to define and achieve their financial goals. As part of the CG Group, Kevin also focuses on managing the endowments and retirement plans for non for profit institutions. 

Kevin is very involved with his local community through philanthropic organizations. He serves on the board of trustees for Boys Hope Girls Hope of New York, Snug Harbor Cultural Center and Botanical Garden, and spends time serving as a mentor to underprivileged and at risk children.

Communication is instrumental to managing life's challenges. That's why I work to engage you and your family in the financial decision-making process. Communicating openly with family members on the sometimes-difficult subject of wealth can be a challenge. I can help facilitate these discussions and offer personalized financial strategies designed to educate the younger generation about how assets may be invested.
