Working With Financial Advisors and Their Teams
When asked what I do for a living, I simply reply that I am a coach. I have always been a coach, whether it is with my children, their sports teams, or when working with financial advisors.
My purpose is to help you, as a financial advisor or team, stay focused on business priorities. This will afford you the opportunity to spend time with those most important to you.
I made the decision to make Stifel my firm of choice, as I believe this is the best fit for financial advisors who want to have access to cutting-edge technology and the tools and resources of the largest firms in our industry.

My Signature Story
I have been in the financial services industry since 1993, and in 1998 – when I had my first opportunity to take on a leadership role as a producing manager – I realized that I truly enjoy my conversations with financial advisors.
