Understanding your life, your wealth and what you want to accomplish is at the core of our practice. We'll discuss your goals, the people who are most important in your life and your vision for the future. Then we'll help you organize your financial life into three strategies: Liquidity—to help provide cash flow for short-term expenses, Longevity—for longer-term needs and Legacy—for needs that go beyond your own.

Timeframes may vary. Strategies are subject to individual client goals, objectives and suitability. This approach is not a promise or guarantee that wealth, or any financial results, can or will be achieved.

    Jim began his career as a Financial Advisor with Morgan Stanley in 1999, working in Monterey, California. As the financial landscape shifted during the 2008 crisis, he transitioned his practice to UBS, demonstrating resilience and adaptability. Jim is committed to guiding clients through the process of financial planning, helping them identify and prioritize their wealth goals.

    With a focus on building customized portfolios, Jim works closely with his clients to ensure their investment strategies align with their objectives while effectively managing risk. After completing an intensive accreditation process, Jim joined UBS’s Private Wealth Division in 2020, where he leverages his expertise to assist ultra-high-net-worth families. He specializes in complex asset transfers and developing strategies designed to preserve wealth across generations.

    Jim’s leadership experience includes serving as Branch Manager of the St. Petersburg, Florida office and as Market Director for the Carmel and Merced, California offices. He, his wife Diane, and their four children—Lily, Andrew, Aiden, and Ella—split their time between St. Petersburg, FL and San Francisco, CA. Outside of work, Jim enjoys fishing, playing golf and tennis, and cherishes spending quality time with his family.
