Success should create freedom - not complexity or uncertainty.
I learned that at 18, when my father passed away unexpectedly. My family was left to navigate not only loss, but a financial life without structure or a clear plan. That experience continues to shape how I advise clients today.
I work with a select group of business owners, professional athletes, and families who have created significant wealth - and want to be deliberate about what comes next.
My role is not just investment management.
I bring clarity to complexity, help clients make confident decisions, and navigate pivotal moments with intention.
My approach centers on three disciplines: Organize. Allocate. Transition.
I advise:
Business Owners
On preparing for and navigating exits, help maximize enterprise value, and convert it into enduring personal and family wealth.
Professional Athletes & Their Families
I provide advice on managing concentrated earnings, preserving wealth, and building financial independence beyond their playing years.
I’m intentional about who I work with. My clients value discretion, trust, and having a steady hand through both opportunity and change.
The objective is simple:
to turn success into lasting freedom - for the people and families it’s meant to serve.
Based in Annapolis, Maryland, I spend my time outside of work with my wife and three children, usually on the water or staying active.
