Erik purposely limits his service to a select group of clients who can most benefit from UBS' global resources and combining the proven access of a leading financial institution with the intimate and customized approach of a boutique

    Throughout Erik's career, his purpose is to define what it means to be a true Client Advocate. Stewardship of wealth created through a lifetime of client sacrifices is a responsibility he takes very seriously. He educates his clients' on all relevant aspects of Wealth Management. His team doesn't seek to be all things to all people, but rather have a culture of exclusivity in our "members only" practice.

They anticipate a liquidity event, are dealing with new-found wealth, or simply realize that they do not have the time or knowledge to handle the intricacies of affluence.  

    He relishes the opportunity to help clients at these critical times, laying out a deliberate and cohesive framework for successive years. Clients often come to him after benefitting from solid planning by external tax and legal advisors. However, they need help in moving beyond planning to implementation. He is particularly skilled in making that connection. Erik recognizes that strategy is an essential underpinning of his team's work.  However, he pairs that foundation with deliberate follow-through.  He understands the importance of doing things the right way the first time.

    Erik is eminently qualified to provide highly personalized wealth management services to his clients. He earned a B.S, in Accounting from Northeastern University. He holds the Series 7, 63 and 65 securities licenses and is a Corporate Stock Benefit Consultant through the Corporate Employee Financial Services division of the firm (CEFS).
