Meet the Team

Philosophy 

In my 30 years as an Investment Consultant, I have boiled the investing process down to a simple formula; Goals – Plan – Portfolio. 

Goals – The first and most important thing is to get a complete understanding of your most cherished goals – what and who you’re investing for. 

Plan – Next, we figure out how much you are going to need in order to achieve those goals and which asset classes have historically been most likely to produce the returns you need to achieve them in the time allotted. My mission in life is to help people make the right kind of plan and be a successful investor. 

Portfolio – Finally, we create a diversified set of specific investments within those asset classes – a portfolio. Then it becomes a matter of monitoring your portfolio and helping you stay on track to successfully pursue your goals.
