Senior Wealth Advisor

“Success is never owned; it’s rented, and the rent is due every day”

My professional focus can be summed up in three distinct areas:

  • Relieving clients of the burden of financial and legacy planning
  • Educating and inspiring clients to take positive action
  • Acting as a fiduciary, committed to delivering extraordinary outcomes while always placing the client’s needs above all else

As a coach, leader, and mentor, I draw on my experience as a retired Green Beret with 20 years of active-duty service. Throughout my military career, I conducted numerous operational deployments to Africa, Iraq, and Afghanistan to include commanding in combat. I am humbled to have served and worked alongside some of the most talented special operators on the planet.

After retiring from the military, I served as CEO and managing member of a Veteran-owned tactical and marksmanship training company. While I gained countless lessons from my military and business careers, in 2020 I decided to pursue my true passion and serve as a financial advisor.

I am a graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point and also earned a master’s degree in defense analysis, with a specialty in financial management, from the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, CA. I am a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® (CFP®) Practitioner and a Retirement Income Certified Professional® (RICP®).

I’m married to Susanne, from Stockholm, Sweden. We have two grown children: Rebecca, who works in investment banking in New York City, and Matthew, who serves in the U.S. Army, stationed at Fort Carson, CO. 

In my spare time, I enjoy hiking, gardening, barbecuing, sports, and anything related to lacrosse. I’m actively involved with the game, having served as a high school varsity coach and Army West Point lacrosse camp mentor, and now as a referee.

Some Fun Facts About Me 

  • I love country, rock, and especially 80s music, and I enjoy naming tunes within the first few seconds of a song
  • I'm a bit of a neat freak and like things to be in their proper place
  • My favorite show is Seinfeld — I believe every situation in life can be traced back to an episode; Favorite Series is Breaking Bad
  • A lifetime fan of lacrosse, my goal is to ref a Division I game at Dorrance Field at UNC, Chapel Hill
  • I enjoy hiking while listening to finance and leadership podcasts
  • I’m a lifetime learner, always looking to improve and learn new things
