    Financial Advisor

      As a Financial Advisor, I partner with high‑net‑worth individuals, families, and business owners to help them make informed, strategic decisions about their wealth. My mission is to bring clarity to complex financial matters, providing clients with the confidence and structure needed to build, preserve, and transition wealth across generations. I believe that meaningful advice is built on clarity, trust, and disciplined planning—allowing clients to stay focused on what matters most to them, their businesses, and their families.

      I specialize in developing tailored investment strategies and comprehensive wealth plans that align with each client’s long‑term goals. Whether guiding a family through multi‑generational planning, helping a business owner prepare for a liquidity event, or constructing a long‑range investment framework, I use a disciplined, research‑driven approach to grow assets while managing risk appropriately. As needs evolve, I work closely with clients to refine their strategies to ensure continued alignment and long‑term success.

      My work also includes helping clients incorporate tax‑efficient strategies and thoughtful charitable giving where appropriate—ensuring their financial decisions support both their near‑term objectives and the legacy they wish to create. These elements complement a broader suite of services designed to simplify and elevate the way clients manage their wealth.

      My services include:

      - Strategic Wealth Planning

      - Customized Investment Management

      - Risk Management & Asset Protection

      - Tax‑Efficient Solutions & Charitable Strategy Integration

      Before entering the financial industry, I earned a Bachelor of Science in Quantitative Economics from the United States Naval Academy. I served as an Infantry Officer in the United States Marine Corps for over seven years, achieving the rank of Captain before honorably departing in 2021. This experience shaped my commitment to leadership, integrity, and disciplined execution—all values that define my work with clients today.

      Outside of work, I stay actively involved in my community through Hill City Church and enjoy spending time with my family. I am a proud member of the Army Navy Country Club, and I enjoy golfing, staying active, and cooking with my wife Lauren, our son John, and our daughter Ann Marie.
