I began my investment industry career in 1992 and joined Stifel in 2008. Prior to Stifel, I served in various management roles at several S&P 500 corporations, primarily focusing on retirement planning.  I work closely with wealthy individuals and their families and help employers develop retirement planning strategies for their employees.  I earned a B.S. and B.B.A. from Western Michigan University in 1978.

Passionate about my community, I have volunteered with several charitable organizations spanning many years.  I serve as a board member with Friends of Camp Concord and as Vice President of the Charles Reid Foundation.  I also support CASA of Contra Costa County and Rock the CASA Foundation. 

I have been married to my wife, Karilyn, since 1991.  We have two children, Andre and Olivia.  I enjoy swimming, golfing, listening to music, and spending time with my family.

I began my investment industry career in 1985 and joined Stifel in 2008.  I serve high-net-worth individuals and their families by developing and implementing wealth management plans designed to help accumulate, mitigate risk to, and transfer my clients' wealth.  My commitment is to provide trusted guidance and outstanding service to all of my clients and their families.  I earned a B.B.A. in Finance from Pace University in New York City and began my career as a financial advisor that very same year. 

I have been a member of the Rotary Club of Walnut Creek since 1999, serving the club in various roles and earning multiple Paul Harris Fellows recognitions. Now that I am a full-time resident of Scottsdale, Arizona, I respectfully resigned my membership in Walnut Creek, and joined the North Scottsdale Rotary Club. I am also an avid supporter of Friends of Camp Concord, CASA of Contra Costa County, and the Charles Reid Foundation.

I have been married to my wife, Stephanie, since 1994 and have two sons, Matthew and Andrew. When not in the office, I enjoy playing golf and bocce ball or simply kicking back to watch my beloved New York Mets.
