About Don
I aim to bring clarity to intricate financial situations. Working with the Family Wealth team allows me to help high net worth individuals, entrepreneurs, and multi-generational family businesses sort out their complicated situations and plan for their ultimate goals.
After developing customized financial strategies and wealth transfer plans, I regularly re-evaluate clients’ objectives to ensure I am working to help drive results based on their planning strategies.
I enjoy working with clients and their advisors and I pride myself on being a great team player. My background as a tax planner, advisor, philanthropic gift and financial planner help make that possible.
