Jane began her financial services career in 1980. She is one of a select number of advisors within UBS to achieve the designation of Wealth Advisor.

She works closely with affluent families, advising them on estate and generational wealth transfer planning strategies.

Jonathon began his career in private wealth management in 2010. His approach centers around goals based planning and investment advice. No two investors have the exact same goals and meeting different goals requires different risk tolerances and investment strategies. Jonathon takes time to help clients articulate specific financial goals. For most clients, this begins with designating a target retirement age and income need. From there, he has an in depth conversation about health care costs, education funding, social security income, inflation and reasonable expectations for market returns. As the conversation deepens, Jonathon works with clients to think about estate planning, caring for adult children and/or aging parents and gifting. Once clients feel confident that their goals are understood, he works with his team to create an investment strategy that will put his clients on the path to achieve their goals with as little risk as possible.
Jonathon is from the Philadelphia area and currently lives in Boston with his wife and two boys. He enjoys playing tennis, golf and squash, traveling, cooking and spending time with his family.
