Steadiness

Affluent individuals come to us for help with goal-setting, retirement planning, investment management. They want personal attention from their family's advisor. They want an experienced CFP® practitioner. I believe they feel better after we help them create a formal retirement income plan, if not a complete wealth management plan.

Our core process is Goals-Based Wealth Management. Its all centers on you, the client. First, "Understand Your Life” describes what is most important to you: family, home, work, health, leisure, giving. We help clients to frame these hopes as financial objectives. Your goals are documented in writing and modified as your life changes. Second, our "Disciplined Investment Process” is driven by your goals, investment personality and risk profile. We hold formal reviews with you of investment progress to goals and we make adjustments as appropriate. Third, we practice "Transparency of Results and Fees” meaning cost and performance reporting.

Communication is essential to any relationship and we have multiple methods. We prefer face-to-face meetings, but we also like to use online web meetings.

My financial advisory career began in 2004 after twenty years of success at Schlumberger and Halliburton, where I worked in field operations, technical sales, product development and strategic planning. Before this I served as a US Army active duty infantry officer.

I feel these varied life experiences help me show empathy for my clients whose work and family fill their day. They seek an advisor to help them organize the present and plan for the future.

Accessible, Knowledgeable, and Experienced.

As a Financial Advisor, I am committed to building and maintaining lasting client relationships. My approach is simple, transparent, and supported by experienced investment guidance. With industry leading research and access to some of the best risk based strategies UBS Financial Services, Inc. has to offer, I assist clients with the critical decision making around their financial goals.

MY PHILOSOPHY: To be a trusted financial strategist, offering thoughtful advice with an intellectually honest approach - continually evaluating and adapting.

WHAT DO I BELIEVE: There is no substitute for hard work and proper planning. Both are necessary to prepare for the future while serving to preserve and grow financial assets. It's vital to look beyond what's directly in front of you; choose your destination, pick your path, and enjoy the journey.

WHO DO I SERVE: People who have worked hard to achieve their personal and financial goals and those who understand the value of a dollar earned. It's taken years of hard work, diligence, and sacrifice to accumulate your net worth. It's my goal to grow those assets and make your money work for you.

WHAT MAKES ME PROUD: My lovely wife and incredible children. My personal and professional accomplishments and the experiences that have taught me so much along the way.

My partners and I believe in taking a long-term approach and establishing deep and valued relationships with each of our clients. Our relationships go beyond business as we foster long term friendships that span generations.
