Managing Director, Investments

Senior Financial Advisor

PIM Portfolio Manager

With more than 25 years of experience in financial services, Andrew believes the ideal client is “someone who is good at what they do, but not good at this.”

“My clients are highly successful businesspeople who are looking for a source of support,” he said. “We want to be that first call when you have a question related to any aspect of your life. It’s our job to be that support system and bring people ideas and options before they even have a chance to ask us.”

Andrew works closely with a limited number of families, which allows him to proactively focus on each client’s goals and challenges.

“Advisors make the mistake of just talking about portfolios and performance,” he said. “Our true value lies in the softer skills – thorough planning, building relationships. We can have a strategic conversation about your whole life – everything from relationships to financial to business to estate. We have the skills to guide people through their entire planning process.”

Andrew earned a B.A. from the University of Delaware and an M.B.A. from the New York University Stern School of Business.

He began his career as a Specialist in Equity and Derivative trading on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, eventually serving as a Managing Director in Bear Stearns’ floor trading operation. In 2008, he was asked to serve as a Senior Economic Advisor for Senator John McCain’s Presidential Campaign. In 2009, Andrew worked as the Executive Director for ACANI, a Non-Profit Group. In 2012, Andrew joined UBS as a Financial Advisor. He transitioned to Wells Fargo Advisors in 2016 and earned the title of Managing Director in 2023.

He formerly taught Derivatives and Personal Finance Courses as an Adjunct Professor of Economics at the College of Charleston.

Andrew is involved in a wide range of projects benefiting children in our community. He lives in Mt. Pleasant, SC with his wife and two children.
