Experience

With over four decades in the financial services industry, Tim has built his career on trust, integrity, and exceptional client care—values proven not just in words but in action, reflected in client relationships that span decades, reaching back to his earliest days at      EF Hutton in 1983. He learned the business from the ground up and quickly earned a reputation for his relentless work ethic—a commitment that continues to define his practice today.

Tim went on to join PaineWebber in 1990 and later served as Branch Manager of the South Burlington, Vermont office from 1995 to 2001. In 2008, he earned the firm’s Wealth Advisor designation, underscoring his dedication to delivering thoughtful, personalized strategies. A testament to his continued dedication, Tim has been recognized on the Barron’s Top 1,200 Financial Advisors list every year since 2010.

He anticipates client needs, delivers clear strategies, and is fully present throughout each step of their financial journey. Inspired by Vince Lombardi’s words that “the dictionary is the only place where success comes before work,” Tim lives by that philosophy, working each day so his clients can move forward with confidence, protect their wealth, and preserve their legacies for generations to come.

Tim has a long history of community involvement, including his years of support for the Boys & Girls Club. Today, he also enjoys supporting his wife Jodie’s small business, DUET, especially through its partnership with the IDDeal Foundation, which creates meaningful employment opportunities for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Outside of work, Tim and Jodie share a love of travel, golf, and skiing, and they especially cherish time spent with their children and grandchildren.

Jake first joined UBS as an intern during college at our Portland, ME branch. After graduating from Trinity College he moved to New York City to join UBS in the Financial Advisor Development Program. Upon finishing the Development Program he worked in the firm’s Institutional Advisory Group for four years during which time he obtained his CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER®, certification.

He moved to the South Burlington Branch in 2024.

Jake takes a planning-first approach to investing, using comprehensive financial planning to design strategies aligned with each client’s specific goals, timeline, and risk tolerance. Rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach, Jake focuses on tailoring investment decisions to what matters most to clients - whether that’s retirement security, wealth preservation, or long-term growth. This disciplined, goals-based framework helps ensure investments remain purposeful, adaptable, and aligned through any life changes.

In his personal life, Jake enjoys being active and spending time outside, something he cherished as a member of the Track and Field team at Trinity. While no longer competing on the Track, Jake enjoys golfing and playing basketball with friends. He lives in Shelburne with his wife, Eliza and their dog, Holley.
