About Us
Philosophy

We believe in a pragmatic approach that is also personalized and caring. Charlie, John and Dan recognize that the financial assets you've accumulated are what they are. By leveraging the insights of Merrill and with access to the banking, credit and lending of Bank of America and other strategic partners within the Firm, our team can streamline the process of helping you address virtually any financial need.

It is our belief that an open dialog and stress-free conversations where you can talk about anything that concerns you, is an essential building block to a long-term relationship. The team listens really well and strives to focus on what's important to you, your family and to the next generation.

It is also valuable to hear about the financial concerns that may keep you up at night or you feel the need to shield from those you love. Your financial approach can be designed to incorporate your concerns, helping you follow your strategy even when the climate around you can make it difficult to do so.
