David has lived on the Central Coast for more than 30 years and has been working in the financial services industry since 1994. David's goal is to develop a customized financial strategy designed to meet your unique financial challenges and then oversee the strategy as they are implemented and monitored.

David started his career at Dean Witter Reynolds Inc., which then later became Morgan Stanley. During this time, he was the assistant branch manager and a partner in a successful team servicing high-net-worth clients. In 2005, David was recruited to work for Merrill Lynch, where he continued to work with high-net-worth clients on the Central Coast. During his tenure at these firms, David became very knowledgeable about using specialized services, such as implementing trust banking services, working with alternative investments and structured products, private banking, and establishing ESOPs and retirement programs for businesses. In 2009, David decided to take his expertise and experience and start his own wealth management business, specializing in helping retirees and successful entrepreneurs around the country.

David loves the Central Coast and enjoys visiting the beach, playing with the dogs, wine and beer tasting, concerts in the park, and the many fine restaurants in the area.   His favorite pastime is spending time with his grown children, two grandchildren, and other family members.
