Vice President–Wealth Management

Senior Retirement Plan Consultant

Tom is one of a small number of UBS Financial Advisors who have earned the designation of Wealth Advisor. As a Wealth Advisor, Tom is eminently qualified to provide highly personalized wealth management services to my clients.

Tom understands that wealth management is more than just the wide range of financial services and solutions you can access at UBS. It is how those services are developed and delivered to help you pursue your goals. That's why he offers a customized approach to wealth
management, built on personal relationships and shaped by an understanding of your needs and aspirations. To help manage your wealth, Tom calls upon the advisory and investment brokerage
capabilities of UBS—one of the world's largest wealth management firms.

Tom has over twenty years of financial services experience. Prior to joining UBS in 2007, he held portfolio manager and advisory roles at Mellon Private Asset Management and East Pacific Investment Company, Inc. Tom also traded options on the trading floors of the Chicago Board Options Exchange and the Chicago Board of Trade from 1998 through 2006.

His focus is helping corporations and business owners create retirement and profit-sharing plans for the benefit of their employees. He works closely with senior management and investment  committees to select and monitor the investments offered in those plans. As one of UBS's Retirement Plan Consultants, Tom is able to assist with Investment Policy Statements. 

He earned the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) designation in 1998, and in 2010 attained the CFP® designation of Certified Financial Planner™. In 1995, Tom was awarded an MBA in Finance from Hawaii Pacific University and is a past president of the Phoenix CFA Society. Tom lives in Scottsdale, AZ with my wife and our four children.
