Euromoney Private Banking and Wealth Management Survey, 2022
Understanding your life, your wealth and what you want to accomplish is at the core of our practice. We'll discuss your goals, the people who are most important in your life and your vision for the future. Then we'll help you organize your financial life into three strategies: Liquidity—to help provide cash flow for short-term expenses, Longevity—for longer-term needs and Legacy—for needs that go beyond your own.
Timeframes may vary. Strategies are subject to individual client goals, objectives and suitability. This approach is not a promise or guarantee that wealth, or any financial results, can or will be achieved.
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.

His father started a forestry products business when Scott was 11. The plan was for Scott to earn a business degree and then go back and take over the business. The plan changed after meeting his wife Lauren, a native of Virginia Beach. Thankfully, Muskoka Timber Mills continues to thrive in the family and most importantly there have been no tarnished relationships. Scott uses his experience to focus most of his time working with multi-generational families predominantly from private business owners, senior executives and medical doctors. He is a Senior Vice President – Wealth Management and a member of the CFA Institute and CFA Society of Virginia.

His wife Lauren is graduate of the MCV School of Dentistry and has been practicing locally since 2008.

Marc works closely with his client’s accountants, attorneys and other specialists to execute a coordinated and comprehensive plan, designed to grow, protect, and use their assets in the most tax-efficient way possible. The team specializes in serving retirees, private business owners, professionals with equity compensation, and those who want to make an impact on their families, communities, and the world through philanthropy. In the summer of 2022, Marc was chosen by the team to establish a presence in Denver, Colorado to better serve our clients in the western US and drive further expansion.
