My motivation to become a financial advisor stems from my passion for investing and an enduring commitment to educate others and help enhance their financial well-being. I believe it is beneficial to the clients I serve that I became a financial advisor later in life and followed a rather non-traditional path, having transitioned from being a university professor to become an independent investment advisor representative. Prior to securing my financial credentials in 2004, I developed my investment expertise and market wisdom the "old-fashioned" way. I learned to manage uncertainty in financial markets and temper the emotional volatility I experienced as an individual investor by successfully navigating through bull and bear markets beginning in the mid 1970s. From to my academic background, I understand and appreciate the importance of being a good listener and respecting the opinions of others. As a doctorally prepared neuroscientist, I understand the need to think critically and analytically and to maintain a commitment to life-long learning. My knowledge of behavioral finance and neuro-economics allows me to appreciate how my clients think and behave about money and help them understand that as well. Using this perspective, I provide my clients with a unique style of leadership and personalized guidance with all aspects of their life that involve financial decisions. As an Investment Adviser Representative of Commonwealth Financial Network^®, I adhere to a personal philosophy of always putting the interest of my clients first. In my advisory role, I specialize in comprehensive financial life planning, risk-managed portfolio construction, tactical asset management, tax control strategies, and retirement income planning. As a tactical asset manager, my goal is to be resilient, nimble and adaptable in the face of changing and unexpected market environments. I received my undergraduate degree from the University of Washington in Seattle and earned my Ph.D. in Physiology and Neuroscience from the University of Rochester (Rochester, NY). I was a tenured Professor of Physiology and Neuroscience at the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor, MI, 1981-2004), before leaving academia to pursue a career in business as an investment advisor. Prior to co-founding North Star Financial Advisors in 2007, I worked as a financial advisor for Ameriprise Financial Services (08/2004 -12/2006). I have resided with my family in Ann Arbor for the past 39 years and recently welcomed our first grandchild, Ryder into this world.
