Work Experience
I began my career in 1983 as a Credit Analyst at Michigan National Bank, where I developed a foundation in financial analysis and risk assessment. In 1985, I became a Registered Representative at Kidder Peabody & Company, gaining exposure to capital markets and client advisory work during a formative period on Wall Street.
In 1995, I transitioned to Trust Portfolio Management at Comerica Private Banking, where I spent a decade managing institutional-grade portfolios within a fiduciary framework. I continued this work at Merrill Lynch Trust Company beginning in 2005, further refining my approach to disciplined, client-centered investment management. In 2018, I founded my own firm. Since then, I have grown assets under management to nearly $100 million a milestone that reflects not only investment acumen but also the ability to navigate the human dimensions of wealth management: communication, trust, and alignment around long-term goals.
This career arc has provided me with a rare combination: institutional rigor, fiduciary discipline, and the entrepreneurial insight required to build and sustain client relationships in an independent setting.

Planning is the foundation of every successful client relationship. It demonstrates our depth of knowledge, clarifies your objectives, and establishes the strategic framework that guides our work together over time. Because planning delivers such significant valueand because it is essential to how we workwe do not charge separately for a comprehensive written financial plan or the preparation of your Investment Policy Statement. These are integral to our process, not add-ons. This approach ensures that from the very beginning, we are aligned around your goals, your risk tolerance, and the disciplined strategy designed to achieve them.
