Helping Individuals, Professionals and Small Business Owners Make Better Financial Decisions

As an AXA Advisors financial professional, I am dedicated to helping my client's fulfill their life goals through financial strategies. To do it right takes commitment and planning and the services of a capable financial professional like me. As an active member of the Washington, DC community, I am dedicated to helping individuals and businesses build their financial futures.

As a Financial Consultant, I provide financial and retirement strategies for my clients. By undertstanding your goals, values, and risk tolerance, I can propose suitable strategies for investments, life insurance, long term care insurance, annuities and fee-based planning.

I successfully completed and obtained my Certificate in Retirement Planning from Wharton. By applying this education to my clients' financial problems, we provide income strategies that will help protect our clients from outliving their assets as well as from long term care illnesses or disabilities. 

To stay on top of my field and develop my professional skills for my career, I have regularly attended industry training and certification programs. This includes completing the curriculum and passing the exams for the:

  • FINRA Securities Registration: Series 7 and Series 66
  • Annuity and Life and Health Licenses

My academic achievements include a Bachelor of Arts degree in Sociology and Computer Science from Brooklyn College, CUNY

My education, experience, and professional affiliations have fostered my practical approach to offering financial products and services to my clients. Rather than just recommending a combination of unrelated products, first I'll consider your specific financial goals and investment objectives. Working together, we'll formulate a strategy to help you address your goals. Then, if it is suitable, I --- as a registered representative of AXA Advisors, LLC, and an agent of AXA Network, and its subsidiaries --- can recommend the appropriate products and services to help you execute your strategy.

Maintaining a strong sense of community and a solid professional foundation are very important to me. My community activities and professional affiliations include:

  • Member of the National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors
  • Member of the Greater Washington DC Board of Trade
  • Member of the Bethesda Chevy Chase Chamber of Commerce
  • Member of the Grass Roots Organization for the Well-being of Seniors (GROWS)
  • Member of National Aging in Place Council (NAIPC)

My wife Laurie and I live in Silver Spring, Maryland, with our two children.

The Problem with Investment Gains

Believe it or not, a significant investment gain, especially one from an unexpected source, can pose a risk to your progress toward long-term goals if it's not handled properly.

Getting Something for Giving

Charitable trusts may help your charity of choice while also providing you with potential tax benefits.

Save More to Have More

There's one solution to a retirement savings shortfall that is so simple you might never have given it serious consideration: Set aside more of your current income. Even if you believe that you are currently saving as much as possible toward retirement, you might change your mind after you run the numbers.

HOT TOPIC: Sum of All Fears: Are Risk Aversion and Greed All in the Mind?

Do you change your investment strategy as the markets go up and down, or do you stay the course? As difficult as it may be, staying the course is usually the more advisable approach — but research shows that you may need to defy your brain to do it.
