Collaborative partnership: Doug began his career in the financial services industry in 2003 and officially linked-up with our PWP founding partner in 2009. After 10 years at Morgan Stanley as a First Vice President, Doug headed to UBS with his fellow team mates. He feels alignment around a common goal with like-minded colleagues is vital. It creates a collaborative atmosphere and an “attitude of gratitude” that directly impacts our clients and ensures first-rate, concierge-level service.

Commitment to success: Doug is passionate about impacting clients’ lives and developing lifelong relationships that continue on to successive generations. He focuses on retirement planning, estate planning strategies and liability management which allows him to assess potential risks and weaknesses in clients’ comprehensive wealth plans. To him, planning is like a game. People can figure out the game but often don’t stop to read all the rules. The members of PWP have taken the time and training to read all the rules. As a result, the game is successfully navigated and that’s the added value. We utilize this knowledge and the collective resources of the team to help individuals and families map a path towards achieving their life goals. 

Beyond UBS: Doug is an active board member for the University of Pennsylvania Sprint Football team. In addition, he founded and chairs Penn’s mentoring program, helping to place undergraduate students with internships and job opportunities via the alumni network. He loves history, travel, wine, good food and sharing those things with the people he loves, especially his wife, Taylor, toddler, Benjamin, and new baby boy, Wes!

Partnership and experience: After beginning her wealth management career in 1998 as an Associate at Brown Brothers Harriman & Co., Jess worked with her Pinnacle partners for six years at Morgan Stanley as an Assistant Vice President. She made the leap to UBS in 2016 with her fellow teammates and hasn’t looked back.

Dina has been steadfastly studying to take the Series 7 and 66 FINRA exams to broaden her knowledge even further. We, and our clients, would be absolutely lost without her.
