I’ve been responsibly managing investment accounts for over 25 years. Based in Marin County, my clients are from all over the San Francisco Bay Area, California, the rest of the U.S. and abroad. My clients are individuals, family trusts, businesses, business retirement plans, non-profits and foundations.

I became a fee-only investment advisor several years ago after many years as a stock broker with Wall Street’s largest firms. I came to believe that the conflict of interest inherent in commission-based investment advice, layers of high fees, and research designed to win investment banking business, dramatically reduced investment returns for individual investors, and this has finally been proven by research.*

I believe that every client, big and small, should be given honest, independent, investment advice, that fees should be based on assets under management, not on transactions, and that individual clients, big and small, should pay no more than large institutions for their investment advice and management.

You can work with me in one of two ways:

• Investment Management — Fee-only on assets under management
• Investment Consulting — Advice and recommendations on an hourly basis for all outside investments

My Educational Background:

Bachelor of Science Business Administration — Dominican University
Certified Portfolio Management Program — The Investment Institute
