Experience

A former Army officer, Brian’s military experience transitioned well into his wealth management career. He spent his early years in the industry building a business that consisted of a large number of UHNW private clients and middle-market institutional clients. Today, with more than 20 years advising UHNW clients, he and his UBS Private Wealth Management team focus solely on serving these successful individuals and families.

“The resources we have available at UBS Private Wealth Management are, in my opinion, the best in the industry. What differentiates us is our ability to deliver what clients want and need.”

Brian’s depth of knowledge is a result of his significant experience in advising on a wide range of complex financial, estate and business succession situations. Brian develops and implements customized plans for cash flow, risk mitigation and portfolio management strategies. As part of his holistic approach, he works closely with clients’ attorneys and accountants to help ensure their financial plans are tax-efficient and “married” to their wealth transfer and estate plans. What’s more, as a Certified Exit Planning Advisor® (CEPA®), Brian brings a strategic understanding of business optimization and sale to his clients’ entrepreneurial goals.

• Principal and financial advisor, Bernstein Global Wealth Management
• Platoon leader, executive officer, company commander and operations officer, United States Army

Life

• For many years, the sports teams and hobbies of Brian’s children—Hunter, Sawyer and Tucker—were his passions.
• With two of his boys now grown and one in college, Brian spends his free time playing golf and boating the waters of Tampa Bay and the Gulf of Mexico.

Paul’s choice to pursue a career in wealth management should have come as no surprise, given his interest in the stock market at a young age and his being the son of a trust and estate attorney. Having spent his entire professional life in the industry has enabled him to not only do something he loves, but more importantly, positively impact the lives of the individuals and families that work with him.

“As an advisor working with families of significant means, depth of knowledge is key, but so is working within a firm that supports you and your clients with best-in-class resources and capabilities. UBS Private Wealth Management provides exactly that.”

Today, with more than 17 years of experience behind him, Paul focuses on helping a select group of ultra-high net worth families and family offices address complex wealth concerns. He understands that wealth management advice does not start and stop with investments—it looks beyond the portfolio to address a wide range of priorities that matter most to his clients.
