In a world of confusing headlines and challenging markets, it takes more than investment guidance to help you move forward with confidence. It takes an understanding of your entire financial life, your hopes and dreams – and a clear road map for getting where you need to go.

As your personal advocate, I provide you with advice that is tailored to your circumstances and priorities. I start with a detailed plan for all you'd like your wealth to achieve. Over time, I adjust your plan as your circumstances change, so you can embrace your financial future with confidence.

I began my financial services career in one of the equity market's most tumultuous months on record-October 1987. I have helped my clients define their goals and manage their wealth through good times and bad for over 25 years. Today I help a select group of client families manage their wealth as we strive together to define, prioritize, and achieve their financial goals. These clients include professionals, corporate executives, business owners and retirees. For many clients I manage discretionary stock portfolios under the Portfolio Management Program. In 2007 I earned the Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor designation from the College of Financial Planning. I am FINRA-registered and hold Series 7 and 63 securities licenses, as well as licenses for life, disability, and long term care insurance. I am a past president of the New London Rotary and of the Thames Club. My bachelor's degree in economics from Connecticut College was earned in 1986. I am the principal owner of Spindrift Guitars, a high-end guitar shop in New London, Connecticut. I live in Fort Myers, Florida and Waterford, Connecticut with my wife Donna and daughter Sarah and our dog Mango.
