I grew up in Rockville, MD, where I was raised by my Canadian grandparents. My grandfather passed away at a young age where unfortunately I learned firsthand the importance of proper planning and risk management. This led me to pursue degrees in Finance & Accounting, while playing both D3 Football and Basketball. Today, I love spending time with my wife Alysia, and our 3 kids, Genevieve (11), Vivian (9) and Beau (6). When we're not traveling, trying new things, or most often shuttling between the kids sports and activities. . I try to keep up on our Washington and Baltimore sports teams and occasionally breaking 100 while golfing!

I joined the Scarborough Capital Management team in 2006. I am a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional and also hold the Accredited Investment Fiduciary (AIF®), Retirement Income Certified Professional™ (RICP®), Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor™ (CRPC®), and the Chartered Federal Employee Benefit Consultant (ChFEBCsm) designations. My goal is to work with clients to help identify their personal and financial objectives and subsequently develop a blueprint to help implement, monitor, and accomplish those goals. I currently offer financial education, comprehensive financial planning, 401(k), 403(b), TSP, and wealth management to help investors reach their retirement goals.
As an Executive Vice President and Retirement Advisor at Scarborough Capital Management, I also am a separately registered representative of, and offer securities through, Independent Financial Group, LLC., member FINRA/SIPC. I also hold Series 7 and 66 registrations and separately, Life, Health, and Variable Annuity Insurance licenses. For state licensing information please visit www.scmadvice.com.
Scarborough Capital Management was founded on the belief that everyone deserves access to high quality financial advice.
In the late 1980’s, many financial firms were focused on serving the wealthy. Scarborough set out to provide something different. We wanted to offer a service that was practical for everyone, not just a small percentage of the population. So we introduced 401(k), 403(b) and Thrift Savings Plan management services to American workers in the heartland.
Soon after, we broadened our scope to offer comprehensive financial planning, so we could help clients simplify their entire financial lives.
Our evolution didn’t stop there. Several years later, we saw that our clients were busy and often didn’t have time to drive to our offices for meetings. So we were one of the first firms to offer “virtual” advisory services. This allowed us to begin serving people from coast to coast.
Fast forward to the present day…while we’ve expanded, we’ve remained a close-knit team of professional advisors with a lot of shared history. Everyone on our team shares a passion for providing practical advice so you have the best chance of reaching your goals.
Most importantly, we have adhered to our founding beliefs:
Thirty years later, we now oversee more than $1 billion in assets. We’re incredibly honored to serve as a trusted partner for so many individuals and families.
