Dustin is a wealth advisor who began his career with UBS in 2006, and wore many hats while learning the business from the ground up. He joined Waterfront Wealth Management in 2008, which happened to coincide with the beginning of one of the most difficult times in economic history. His experience working with clients through these times uncovered his true passion of helping people, and strengthened his commitment to improving the lives of his clients.

Dustin plans each client's wealth management strategy around their unique goals and circumstances. With a refined planning process at its core, he recognizes that every client has a unique set of circumstances and aspirations and employs a detailed discovery process that enables him to deeply understand not just the client's financial data, but more importantly, their values, passions, and vision. This allows him to take all the pieces of a client's financial puzzle, and put them in place.

Dustin's proudest accomplishment is his family. He married his college sweetheart, Debbie, and now resides in Lakeside, California. They love spending time with their two beautiful daughters, Gracie and Alyssa, and their loyal dog Chewbacca. Dustin is very passionate about causes near and dear to his family, giving back to his community by volunteering at the Autism Society San Diego, where he has served in various roles including Vice President and Treasurer, while managing the various summer camps the organizations hosts to support individuals with Autism.
