Find Me On

My goal is to help people live better lives — I want to see them thrive. Service is at the core of everything I do. I’m passionate about the power of making a meaningful difference in the lives of others, and I consider it a privilege to have helped clients strive to achieve financial security and success for more than 30 years. I take pride in building strong personal relationships with my clients, grounded in mutual trust and respect.
By deeply and clearly understanding each client’s unique needs, goals, and priorities in addition to their dreams, challenges, and what helps keep them confident, I’m able to customize proactive solutions that help them discover new opportunities, assess options and make informed decisions they can feel good about.
I work with business owners, high net worth families, foundations and endowments. I believe in meeting clients where they are, anticipating what they need and helping them navigate the ups and downs in their lives and the markets with confidence. It’s all about empowering them to live their best lives while building a legacy for the future.
A New Orleans native, I have lived in the Atlanta area for more than 30 years. My wife, Lisa and I have adult daughters, Claire and Sophia. Giving back is a priority for me. I have dedicated most of my adult life to service, including past positions on the boards of directors of nonprofit organizations like Zoo Atlanta and The Catholic Foundation of North Georgia. In my spare time I golf, fish, read, stay current on the capital markets and continually ask myself what more I can do to make a difference.
