Even after more than 40 years in financial services, I still love my work every day. I get excited about the chance to make a difference in the lives of our clients, often impacting the trajectory of their families over multiple generations — many of which I now have the pleasure of personally working with as well. The relationships I’ve built with clients bring me real joy and satisfaction, and I highly value being trusted to join them as they go through life’s many milestones, in times of celebration and trial alike.
To me, it’s personally rewarding to be a resource and guide for my clients, bringing them new ideas, new opportunities and new solutions as they strive to achieve their financial and life goals. I thrive on the challenge of navigating the ever-changing markets, and take pride in helping clients understand and respond to trends as well as make informed decisions through its many ups and downs. In addition to being our team leader, my area of focus on our team is municipal bonds. In my career I’ve been distinguished with many honors for performance and professionalism, including as a Forbes Best-in-State Wealth Advisor1 in 2024, a Barron’s Top 12002 from 2015-2024 and Top 1000 Financial Advisor2 from 2012-2014.
I grew up in Cheltenham and have called the Jenkintown area home since 1976, but recently moved to Villanova. I’m proud of my family’s deep roots in the Philadelphia area, which dates back to the American Revolution. Family time is of the utmost importance to me. My wife Anne and I have three adult children and love staying busy keeping up with our seven grandchildren. I have been fortunate to travel all over the globe to places like Africa, India, China and Europe. In my spare time I enjoy playing tennis and golf.
