Financial Planning Associate

I live in San Diego CA with my wife Karina and my kids Derek and Kara.  I’m originally from New York NY and spent half my life on the east coast, but am very happy to now be living in Southern California.  I have a B.S. in Mathematics from the University of Michigan and have been working in finance for most of my career.  During my free time I love to travel, go to the beach, snowboard, play basketball, and explore the many great restaurants and events in our area.

Network of Specialists

Through Northwestern Mutual, I have access to a Network of Specialists. We help each other, share ideas and common values, and leverage each other's talents to help you achieve your personal dream of financial security.
