Managing Director–Wealth Management
Financial Advisor
When you build strong partnerships with clients, great things can happen. This is Mark’s experience and the principle that guides him each day in his practice. He takes a holistic approach and serves his clients on all levels of their financial lives—from their banking and lending needs to wealth structuring strategies.
Mark began his financial services career in 2001 at UBS. He was later recruited to Bank of America/Merrill Lynch in Los Angeles in 2003. Mark realized that his clients could be better served at UBS, and he returned in 2014. In addition to his California insurance license, he has carried the Certified Financial Planner (CFP®) designation since 2004 and has earned a number of professional accreditations. He has also attended Harvard Business School and UCLA for post-graduate work in behavioral finance and financial planning.
Outside of work, Mark is a member of the Jonathan Club, The Viking Charities of Los Angeles, several wine & food societies, and actively volunteers at Project Angel Food. He and his daughter, Zoe, enjoy the great outdoors by committing to visit all of the National Parks, and currently live in downtown Los Angeles.
