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.

What Kind of Investor Are You?

Although most Americans seem to understand that investment involves risk, there is a wide spectrum in how much risk each investor is willing to assume. Among the factors to consider are comfort level, time horizon, and net worth. This article helps investors to consider their appropriate level of risk.

Do You Have Enough Disability Coverage

Disability can affect anyone without notice, and a well-paid professional in the midst of a productive career has much to lose if he or she suffers a medical problem and is unable to work. But there are ways that high earners can expand their coverage and help ensure that their income, assets, and lifestyle are not at risk from a potential disability.

Another Year, Another AMT Patch

The 2010 Tax Relief Act adjusted AMT exemption levels for 2010 and 2011 to help prevent an estimated 21 million middle-income taxpayers from being subject to the alternative minimum tax. Will Congress enact another patch for 2012?
