I immensely enjoy crafting customized, unique solutions for my clients.
I have nearly 17 years experience as a registered financial advisor. I have worked with two of the largest investment brokerage firms.
Just prior to the Wall Street meltdown of some of the major firms, I chose to develop & build my independent practice ClientFirst Financial, and affiliate with Raymond James. This independent platform has allowed me to offer quality objective expertise as well as a vast array of solutions for my clients.
I have both an MS and BS from the University of California.

About Raymond James
Raymond James is one of the largest independent financial services firms in the United States. Since its beginning in 1962, it has always been a different kind of company – embracing long-term planning and methodical decision-making while staying uncompromisingly client focused. When other firms were simply buying and selling stocks or mutual funds, Raymond James focused on financial planning to help individuals reach their goals. It was the first firm to pioneer that concept – and today it supports its advisors with access to a full range of comprehensive resources, helping them to do the same.
- More than 5,400 financial advisors
- 2 million client accounts
- 2,400 locations (United States, Canada and abroad)
- $268 billion in client assets
- $35 billion managed by its subsidiary asset managers
Raymond James Financial was recently named the best full-service broker in the 2011 SmartMoney annual broker survey for the third time in four years – ranking above Edward Jones, Wells Fargo, UBS, Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley Smith Barney.
