I graduated from Hampden-Sydney College with a Bachelor of Arts in Economics in 1999. Driven by a lifelong ambition to work on Wall Street, I moved to New York City in December 2000 and began my career on a trading desk at Bear Stearns. Over the next decade, I honed my skills in trading equity and fixed income securities, gaining invaluable experience in the fast-paced world of finance. In 2012, I relocated to Tampa, Florida, where I transitioned into a role as a financial advisor with 21st Century Financial. My passion for providing personalized financial guidance led me to become an independent advisor and eventually establish my own company. This move allowed me to broaden my reach and better serve the best interests of my clients. With a deep commitment to helping individuals and families achieve their financial goals, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to every client relationship. My extensive background in trading and financial advising, combined with my dedication to client success, makes me a trusted partner in navigating the complexities of financial planning.
We've built a team of top-level, salaried professionals to give our clients unbilled access to expertise in every area of wealth management.
