    Senior Vice President at UBS Financial Services – Private Wealth Management, I bring nearly three decades of experience helping clients navigate complex financial landscapes with clarity and confidence. Based in Houston, I specialize in building tailored strategies for high-net-worth individuals and families, with a focus on long-term growth, legacy planning, and risk management.

    Before joining UBS, I served as a Director in Credit Suisse’s Private Banking North America division, where I advised clients across diverse industries and life stages. My career began in 1996 as a Personal Business Manager to Austin entrepreneur Lowell Lebermann, followed by a role as a research analyst for a Dallas-based hedge fund—experiences that shaped my analytical approach and client-first mindset.

    I hold both a BBA and MBA in Finance from the University of Texas at Austin, and I’m passionate about delivering thoughtful, data-driven advice that empowers clients to make informed decisions.
