My career in financial services began in 1995 as broker's assistant in Washington, D.C.  Shortly thereafter, I joined Dean Witter in Annapolis, MD, which later merged with Morgan Stanley.  In 1997, I completed the Morgan Stanley Financial Advisor Training Program and began my work as a registered Financial Advisor in the firm’s Alexandria, VA office.

In 2003, I left Morgan Stanley to found Bison Wealth Management, LLC as an independent, fee-based Registered Investment Advisory firm.  A year later, my wife and I moved to Cleveland, OH, where we’ve been raising our family ever since.  From 2020 to 2026, I worked with Summit Capital before relaunching Bison Wealth Management, LLC.

Today, I focus on retirement planning, portfolio management, tax strategies, and insurance and estate planning.  My goal is to deliver clear, objective, and actionable advice that empowers clients to make confident, well-informed financial decisions.

I earned a Bachelor of Science in Finance and French from Canisius College.  I am a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® professional and complete more than 30 hours of continuing education each year to stay current with industry developments.

My wife and I reside in Lyndhurst, OH, and we have three grown children. We enjoy traveling, volunteering in the community, and embracing our lives as empty nesters. I serve on the Pastoral Council at St. Paschal Baylon and have previously coached a variety of youth sports, including baseball, rowing, and softball.
