When Not in the Office:
Born and raised in Los Angeles, I currently live in Encino with my wife and two sons.

I am an avid surfer, golfer, reader, snowboarder, and traveler.

What Do You Enjoy Most About Your Job?
I’m passionate about what I do because I get to work with my clients, my friends and my family in order to help them find peace of mind. In this day of age, with access to smartphones, social media, information on the Internet, there is a ton of noise out there. This noise can be disseminated extremely quickly, which can be overwhelming to individual investors. When we set a strategic plan for our clients, we know that we’re setting a disciplined approach to allow our clients to go out and enjoy their lives without paying too much attention to the daily noise.

What Do You Enjoy Most About Working at KARWA?
I enjoy working at KAR because of the culture. Every team member knows that at the end of the day the clients’ interests come first. Mr. John Anderson said it best; “Do the right thing.”

How Does KARWA Approach Wealth Management Differently?
We approach wealth management differently in that we aren’t just focused on two-asset portfolios of stocks and bonds. We look at alternative strategies in order to help protect our clients on the downside but also capture up-market swings. Having a background in financial planning, I look at both sides of my clients’ balance sheets, along with their goals, to make sure we’re taking a holistic approach to their financial needs. From there, we create customized asset allocation strategies.

What Do You Hope to Achieve For Your Clients?
My goal is to help my clients find peace of mind while achieving their previously established goals. I don’t want my clients worrying about their investment portfolios or current financial condition. If the expectations and stage are set properly, routine reviews should be the only times that my clients are focusing on their investments. After all, that’s why they’re hiring a professional wealth advisor.

What Do You Enjoy Most About Your Job?
I really enjoy hearing our about our clients lives, whats important to them, and values that drive their decisions. Being still early in my career, their insights provide a lot perspective into what is important to different people. I feel that I learn just as much from our clients as our client’s learn from me.

What Do You Enjoy Most About Working at KARWA?
To work with a great group of highly motivated individuals. There is a strong sense of community and pride within the organization and that makes it very easy to come to work everyday. The collaborative nature of the group also supports that sense of community and helps better the work and advice we provide to clients.

What Are You Involved in Outside of Work?
I enjoy checking out everything Los Angeles has to offer. Whether it’s the beach, mountains, or desert, I enjoy them all. I also enjoy going to shows, and concerts to see historic venues and theaters in the city. To stay active, I play squash golf, ride my bike and I’m attempting to take up tennis.

How Does KARWA Approach Wealth Management Differently?
The advisor team at KAR has some of the best relationships I have seen between clients and their advisors. The attentiveness and care the advisor team approaches their clients with is second to none. I believe the clients at KAR feel very close with their advisors and appreciate that relationship.

What Do You Hope to Achieve For Your Clients?

At a high level, I hope to provide them financial peace of mind and be a professional they can trust to help them make complicated financial decisions.

I also hope to provide the advice that allows our clients to go forward and achieve their financial goals. Many of our clients are at a point in their lives where they have achieved their career goals. Now its time to understand what their other goals are and what it takes financially to achieve them.

Barron’s “Top 100 Independent Advisors”: The ranking is based on data provided by individual advisors and their firms. Advisor data is confirmed via regulatory databases, cross-checks with securities firms and conversations with individual advisors. The formula Barron’s uses to rank advisors is proprietary. It has three major components: assets managed, revenue produced, and quality of practice. Investment returns are not a component of the rankings because an advisor’s returns are dictated largely by the risk tolerance of clients. The quality-of-practice component includes an evaluation of each advisor’s regulatory record. KAR has not paid a fee to participate in the rankings, but has paid fees for a license to access reprints and distribute links to the results of the rankings via email, social media, and KAR’s website for a prescribed period of time.
