At Pacific Peak Partners, we focus on holistic planning and ongoing conversations to deeply understand our clients’ needs, wants and wishes. We make sure that financial plans align with investment portfolio’s and continuously monitor portfolio for opportunities.
We firmly believe that new technologies, social phenomena, and environmental changes are quickly altering the world we live in, while constant political news and short-term market speculation distract us from forward-looking thinking. At the end of the day we are helping clients identify and address their goals as well as their concerns.
Our experience and structured planning process drives a comprehensive financial plan and customized investment strategies. Depending on where you are in your life and the priorities that matter most, our planning conversations may focus on liquidity management, your cash flow needs, asset replacement solutions such as insurance, estate planning strategies, or tax and legal structures such as trusts and philanthropic vehicles.

When you have created or inherited significant wealth, you have opportunities to pursue bold and meaningful undertakings. How do you make decisions that will guide you successfully forward, no matter what your goal? Your life and priorities are multidimensional. We understand how each can impact the others—not only today but for years and generations to come.

Talking about future financial responsibility can be an emotional and challenging topic for families. Whether you’re discussing an inheritance, insurance, a business transition or wealth transfer, an open, honest discussion among family members makes the process more rewarding for everyone. Let us show you how.

Financial decision-making is easier when you have the benefit of a trusted source of advice. Our team is here for you with planning-based solutions to help you confidently take charge of your financial world. It's about helping you feel empowered to make important decisions about today’s opportunities and challenges—and tomorrow's.

Our process takes you from the initial stages of exit or succession planning all the way through the transaction close. We develop a personalized strategy to help manage the proceeds and achieve your future financial goals—and life goals after you step away.

What are the causes you are passionate about? Whatever your objectives, we can help you explore new and innovative ways to make a positive impact on the world. Through our network and the UBS Family Advisory and Philanthropy Services, we’ll work with you and family members to help provide education on philanthropy, practical solutions and tax-efficient investment strategies for creating a meaningful and lasting legacy.

Estate planning, though a difficult topic to broach with loved ones, is a critical part of managing wealth. Working together, we can help you create a Legacy strategy that will help to ensure a framework that you can uphold through your wealth transition.

Navigating financial futures can be daunting for divorcees and widows. Seeking a professional advisor to provide guidance and support is a vital step towards financial stability. Finding someone knowledgeable to help manage finances can bring peace of mind and security during life's transitions.

What's on the horizon?
Next generation family members face evolving opportunities and responsibilities as they prepare to shape the future of their wealth and legacy. At UBS, we partner with the next generation and their families across every stage of this journey, combining tailored advisory with structured education to build confidence, capability, and long-term perspective.

UBS and entrepreneurs
Entrepreneurs encounter shifting opportunities and challenges throughout their business lifecycles.

Modern philanthropy made simple
A Donor-Advised Fund (“DAF”) can provide you with a cost-effective and flexible way to donate to your favorite charities and help you address your philanthropic goals, including creating a lasting legacy that can involve your family members.

A donor advised fund generally is a fund or account that is sponsored by a public charity and with respect to which the donor or someone whom the donor designates can advise on distributions or investments.1
1 IRC § 4966(d)(2).

With the "great wealth transfer" underway, the opportunity for women is enormous. But what are the risks? And how can women better navigate the opportunities and challenges ahead?
Learn about women inheritors’ experiences with the wealth transfer process and their advice for those who expect to inherit.

An overview of philanthropic strategies and their impact to help you evaluate different options.

As they say, “failing to plan is planning to fail.” Learn how planning for the personal side of a liquidity event, both before and after the transaction, you can help mitigate risks.
We are here to provide quality strategies customized to your needs. We concentrate on developing long-term relationships through a commitment to quality client service. You can rely on our personalized advice, first-class solutions, and extensive wealth management experience.
I grew up in Louisville, Kentucky before attending Indiana University. Post-college I was a cofounder a start-up company in the food processing industry. After working up and down the coast of California and having a successful exit from the business, I moved to Los Angeles and began working in the financial services industry in 2001. Building and selling a business provided me keen insight into all the details associated with creating and keeping wealth.
It’s the important things—our families, our values, the impact we have on others—that connect us. And although making sense of it all can be hard, asking the right questions can make things clearer. So, when we speak, I want to learn about those life questions that are on your mind. “Should I start my own business? Is it better to leave my kids everything? Or nothing? How do I set up a charitable fund? Will my family be ok when I’m gone?” Together, I know we can find the answers.
Whatever your concerns, I can help you create a comprehensive financial plan to address your important priorities. Since 2001, I have put my experience to work for each of my clients, helping them find the best way forward to pursue the goals that truly matter.
In 2016 I relocated my family from Los Angeles to San Francisco and currently live in Fairfax with my wife Sara, daughter Kariana, son Ryder and our two dogs. I love cooking, hiking, golf, physical fitness and football. In my free time you will find me with my family exploring the outdoors.

Growing up, I always loved any kind of math problem. I found great satisfaction from working through the problem sets knowing at the end I would either be right or wrong. I of course preferred to be more right than wrong but it was black or white – no gray area. As a result, choosing to study electrical engineering with a minor in mathematics at Union College in Schenectady, New York was an easy decision for me. After many nights and weekends in the lab (talking to the circuit board) I realized that I missed people and I'm thrilled I did because the most sophisticated, rewarding problem sets I have ever solved have been with and for my clients.
Whether you are an entrepreneur or venture capitalist who recently sold a company; a newly minted divorcee who gets to rebrand the wealth in your name only; or a dual working couple with growing wealth and lots of moving parts, my job is to make sure your wealth does everything you want it to do. For my clients, I have learned, the right solution is about the return—and also the focus of their wealth. The gray area matters profoundly.

As a young adult, I was a competitive tennis player in Southern California. I found great satisfaction in training every day and competing almost every weekend. I obviously loved winning more than losing but it wasn’t until High School that I was able to realize the value of a team and the joy of sharing success with that team. The hard work and leadership it takes, day in and day out, to be successful is what fundamentally translates to the team we have built here at UBS since joining in 2012. We strive to put our clients first and have built the infrastructure to help ensure outcomes align with goals.
Prior to the start of my financial career, I received an academic scholarship to attend George Washington University. I arrived in Washington D.C. in August of 2001. Living through 9/11 in D.C. was a formative experience that shaped a lot of my world view. Majoring in finance and international business with a minor in Philosophy has provided me with insight and critical thinking skills to work with a wide array of high net worth and ultra-high net worth families.
Whether you own a business, real estate or are an executive or serial entrepreneur with lots of unique needs, my job is to act as a liaison for all the resources UBS has to offer. For our clients there is no “one-size fits all” solution and we’ll work together to make sure your individual and loved one's needs are taken care of.
Outside of the office, I spend most of my resources supporting Jewish Big Brothers Big Sisters of Los Angeles. I have been a “big brother” since 2007 and I have been on the Board of Directors since 2014. When I find the time, I still enjoy tennis and paddle tennis, but I also love golf, snowboarding, and backpacking in the Eastern Sierras.
I live with my wife, Mariko, our son, Kingston, and our dog, Bandit in Venice Beach. On the weekends you’ll typically find us on our bikes around the neighborhood.
