Understanding the unique needs of entertainment professionals

As a successful entrepreneur, executive or entertainment professional, you have that something extra: the drive that has put you at the top of your industry. With such success comes complexity. You have the vision; now you need the plan.

Over the past 25 years, I have had the privilege of advising a diverse group of successful entertainment professionals. I understand the unique challenges and opportunities that come from working in a highly creative industry.

Whatever your role in the entertainment industry—senior executive, working professional or creative artist—your life is unique with its own characteristics, earnings profile and variable career span. You require a Financial Advisor who knows the industry and understands your total financial picture. I can help craft creative financial strategies that account for the distinctive dynamics of your career.

I work with sophisticated, tenacious and creative clients who expect no less from their wealth advisor. They count on me for the confidence that comes from a comprehensive approach.
