About Me

For over 20 years, I have advised family offices large and small: from startup SFOs, to Forbes 400 families, to multi-billion dollar MFOs. I bring first-hand perspective and experience with multi-generational family businesses to help high net worth families and their wealth advisors achieve growth and change objectives. For almost a decade, I led the Family Office Practice of Oakbrook Solutions.

Passion and creativity to do more with less. Consummately focused on increasing productivity and improving profitability.
