Having a father who was an executive at ESPN from its early days, I was introduced to the sports and media business very young. Having stepped into the media world briefly, I pivoted to pursue Wall Street in 1993. The sports and entertainment industries are where I focused client acquisition and have continued to do so for over 30 years.

I provide targeted comprehensive financial advice and strategies designed to assist clients achieve their short- and long-term goals with the highest level of personal service and integrity.  Utilizing asset allocation through traditional and alternative investments I strive to reduce investment risk while seeking to achieve goals-based returns.

Outside of the office, for fun and exercise, I ski, play golf and ice hockey and enjoy food and wine. My wife Pearl is retired from the LPGA where she held a tour card for 16 years with a win in 1998 and had a decorated amateur golf career winning numerous events including the US Amateur.  In 2023 she was inducted into the Southern California Golf Hall of Fame. She now teaches golf in greater Los Angeles after retiring as head coach for the woman's golf program at Cal State Fullerton. Additionally, I enjoy watching my daughter Madeline compete on the UCLA Women's Beach Volleyball team and my son Marcus play ice hockey and lacrosse at Cushing Academy in Massachusetts. We reside in Manhattan Beach, CA with our Labradoodle, Bo.

I hold a FINRA Series 7 (General Securities Representative), Series 65 (Uniform Investment Advisor Law), and Series 63 (Uniform Securities Agent State Law) registrations and Life and Health Insurance Agent (State of California) licenses. I received a BA in International Studies from The University of Lynchburg in 1992.
