Senior Vice President–Wealth Management
Financial Advisor
After thirty years of advising families, I’ve come to believe that the real goal of financial advice isn’t just growth, but rather, peace of mind. At the center of every financial plan we build is a single, guiding principle: wellbeing comes first. The financial decisions you make only matter insofar as they support a life of meaning, security, and freedom.
I live with my wife, Nichole, on a small farm in Woodstock, Vermont, alongside our three dogs — Veda, Poppy, and Miles — who provide daily lessons in both joy and humility.
