Throughout his more than 30 year career in financial services, John has helped his clients manage their wealth through the ever-changing financial landscape. John begins every client relationship by striving to understand each person’s life and financial goals, enabling him to build a customized and comprehensive financial plan to help each client achieve those goals.

John has used this detailed and personalized approach to guide his clients through multiple market cycles. At the foundation of his practice is an emphasis on income and growth, and providing clients with real cash flow from their portfolios.

As clients prepare for and enter retirement, John manages a client’s portfolio to transition from wealth accumulation to wealth preservation, while also taking into account any legacy and estate planning needs.

In addition to working closely with individuals and their families, John has extensive experience advising small business owners on all of their cash management needs, as well as retirement planning (i.e., 401k, Profit Sharing Plans, etc.).

John began his career at Dean Witter Reynolds in 1993, which later merged with Morgan Stanley.
