My team knows that our clients have built something remarkable, and we help ensure that their wealth supports their values & long-term goals with a wise understanding of choices, risks, costs, and tax and estate implications.For those seeking full financial analysis, I act as a fiduciary, taking a holistic & personalized approach. This includes developing tailored strategies for tax-advantaged planning, business succession, philanthropic giving, & wealth transfer. By working closely with your CPAs, attorneys, and other trusted advisors, we help ensure that your financial strategy is seamlessly integrated & designed to meet both your immediate & future needs.My background as an officer in the US Navy, a consultant with Booz Allen Hamilton, & a director at Sony Ericsson has shaped my ability to address complex challenges & lead with clarity. These experiences taught me the importance of discipline, strategic thinking, and building relationships - values that remain central to my work today.Education has been a cornerstone of my professional journey. I hold a Bachelor of Science in electrical engineering (cum laude with honors) & an MBA from Duke University\'s Fuqua School of Business, where I graduated as a Fuqua Scholar.
