Our Chief Investment Office presents its outlook for the new year in the 2026 edition of Year Ahead.
Stocks are rising on AI momentum, but inflation and national debt pose new challenges. Let’s review the research together and find the best solutions for the year ahead—and beyond.
Our mission is to provide quality strategies customized to your needs. Our goal is to be your primary source of financial advice. To this end, we concentrate our efforts on developing long-term relationships through a commitment to quality client service.
I opened my first managed account, owning individual stocks, when I was 17 and have since been hooked on the capital markets and investing. I formally began my financial career in one of the capital market’s most tumultuous periods - and over the past 18 years have helped clients manage their wealth through good times and bad. While concentration builds wealth and diversification protects it, we believe that it takes a combination of both; and time in the markets rather than trying to time the market that builds true multigenerational wealth.
With our clients, we emphasize asset allocation and total portfolio management focused on optimizing performance given the desired amount of risk. We assist clients with both long-term strategic deployment of capital and short-term tactical allocations utilizing our leading research and extensive market knowledge to profit from movements and shifts in the capital markets.
We help clients and their families and businesses as well as a full range of institutions with thought leadership, equity and debt financing, tax guidance and strategy, risk management and planning.
I am FINRA-registered and hold Series 3, 7 and 66 securities licenses.
My wife and I live with our son in Denver, CO where I have lived for over 45 years. As an Eagle Scout, I enjoy the outdoors, and all that Colorado has to offer. I enjoy giving back and volunteering my time to several international and local organizations including Optimist International, Junior Achievement, and Denver Kids Inc. to name a few.
