Discipline and Trust for the Long Run

Thanks for visiting my web site. Whether you are one of my wonderful clients or just visiting for the first time, I hope you find something useful. I always appreciate feedback so press the contact link to send me a note.


I was born in Washington, DC and grew up in Bethesda, Maryland. I obtained a BS in Mechanical Engineering from Cornell University in 1984.   From there, I worked as Captain in United States Air Force to help purchase F-16 Fighters in Dayton, Ohio, while also obtaining an MBA from Wright State University in 1987.


My family and I moved to Cary, NC in 1991 where I initially worked as an entrepreneur with a small RTP Development Company for 5 years in the early 1990s. In 1996, I joined Nortel Networks working in Finance and Product Management. In 2002, I was fortunate enough to join AXA Advisors earning such accolades as Financial Advisor of the Year in my peer group for 2003, 2005, and 2006. 


My wife LaVonda and I have 3 wonderful children and numerous pets. I am very active in the community, serving on the YMCA Cary Branch Advisory Board for 10 years. Currently. I am helping coach soccer, volleyball, and swim meets and also enjoy biking and racquetball.


My diverse experience has made me very well suited for my current (and final) profession. Having worked with large and small companies, public and private, I have shared many of the everyday  problems my clients now face.  My goal is to establish long term working relationships with my clients.


The financial services include general investing, college funding, retirement planning, and insurance planning related to life, health, disability and long term care. I also assist with estate and tax planning working with numerous local lawyers and accountants.
