As a Senior 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. I was born in Libertyville, Illinois, and I was raised in Round Lake Beach, Illinois. Before entering the financial services industry, I graduated from Northern Illinois University with a degree in Business Administration. I worked at J.P. Morgan as a Private Client Advisor for 11 years. Now as a Senior Financial Advisor with the Chicago office, I take pride in working for a firm that puts you first. Out of the office, I enjoy spending my free time with my wife of 10 years, Quetzalli Mazari. We enjoy our two daughters, Penelope (7), and Maya (17 months). I also enjoy staying active, and I will frequently run, bike, or play basketball. I am currently involved in my daughter's PTO, at Da Vinci Waldorf. I also volunteer at our Catholic Church.
