Meet Our Team

Focus

By focusing on each investor's specific needs, I develop strategies that help clients reach their financial goals through a process driven model. I have worked as a Financial Advisor to both individual and institutional investors since 2011. I have developed and refined a process designed to enable me to manage my clients' assets and risk. I can be your sounding board to help guide all of your investment planning needs.

Background and experience

With extensive experience throughout major shifts in the markets, I have dedicated my career to delivering the personalized investment planning services my clients deserve.

I began my career as a Financial Advisor with Morgan Stanley in Atlanta, GA, where I developed my fundamental investment knowledge. I joined Fifth Third Securities in 2012 to take a team approach in providing personalized financial advice for individuals and families. I joined Wells Fargo Advisors after relocating to Naples, FL.

Growing up with my father a small business owner and mother a registered nurse, I learned to enjoy exploring new places, industries and people. My passion for learning doesn’t end there. I earned my bachelor’s degree at the University of Tennessee and MBA from Georgia State University.

Away from the office

I spend my free time with my wife, Kelly and our sons, Lucca and Vincent. We like to stay active both physically and mentally, whether it’s coaching baseball at Greater Naples Little League or taking relaxing trips to the beach. I especially enjoy golfing, fishing and baseball. I am an active member in my community through church and other non-profits.

Focus

I provide comprehensive investment planning. If a working relationship is developed, I can work closely with you to help achieve your goals.

Background and experience

For over three decades I have helped clients address their financial concerns and develop strategies by focusing on each individual’s specific needs. With extensive experience throughout major shifts in the markets, I have dedicated my career to delivering the personalized investment planning services my clients deserve.

I began my career as a Financial Advisor with Merrill Lynch in Sarasota, where I developed my fundamental investment knowledge. I joined Wachovia Securities, a predecessor firm of Wells Fargo Advisors, in 2007.

I was raised in Fairfield Connecticut and am the youngest of four boys. I came to Florida in 1980 to attend College. While earning my bachelor’s degree at the University of South Florida, I majored in Finance and was hired as a Financial Advisor at Merrill Lynch upon Graduation. After college, I settled in Sarasota and 30 years later still loves all the West Coast of Florida has to offer. I received my 20 year Service Recognition Award from Wells Fargo Advisors in August of 2020.

Away from the office

I have enjoyed playing tennis for many years and love the waters of the Gulf of Mexico where I can be found in the Cayo Costa, Pine Island and Boca Grande area. I have been active in the past with Big Brothers/Big Sisters and the American Cancer Society. I also did my first build project in 2015 for Habitat for Humanity in my local town of Cape Coral helping to finish a home for a single mother of four.

Focus

As a Financial Advisor, I am dedicated to helping my clients meet their financial needs. Whether you are planning your retirement, saving for your children's or grandchildren's education, or looking to preserve your wealth, I can help.

Background and experience

Before entering the financial services industry, I graduated from Ohio University with a degree in Business Finance. Now a Financial Advisor with the Punta Gorda office of Wells Fargo Advisors, I take pride in working for a firm that puts you first.

My mission is to help each one of my clients plan for a financial future in a way that best meets his or her goals. And my commitment doesn't end there. I am currently involved with the Florida Golf Association and First Tee of Collier County with a mission to empower the youth in our community.

It takes more than a single planning session to put your wealth to work in support of your life goals. It takes a process. As your life circumstances change, so must the investment strategies I use to help keep you on course toward your objectives. We’ll continue to work together through the years to keep your investment strategies aligned with your goals and needs.

I believe the key to success is to focus on Goals, not obstacles. I look forward to extending my services to you and your family.

Away from the office

Away from the office, I enjoy spending time outdoors at the beach or hiking. Most Sundays are spent playing golf with my father who is local in Fort Myers. When I can get away, I make a trip to visit my mother and siblings in Ohio.
