Experience

Tim’s wealth management philosophy is influenced and driven by noted economist, Benjamin Graham:

"The best way to measure your investing success is not by whether you’re beating the market but by whether you’ve put in place a financial plan and a behavioral discipline that are likely to get you where you want to go."

Experience to guide you forward
Tim began his financial services career in 1982 at UBS-predecessor firm PaineWebber. He later joined Credit Suisse in 2008 and returned to UBS in 2015. Motivated by his parents’ experience with an unsuccessful business plan, Tim learned the value of financial planning early in his life.
