Clients feel comfortable coming to Tim with their financial concerns. Do they have enough money to last their lifetime? Can they maintain their lifestyle in retirement? Will they be able to leave a legacy for their family? Tim offers his knowledgeable advice and conducts a probability life analysis to show them how their future could look.

Tim has 24 years of experience in the financial services industry and is a Certified Financial Planner™ professional. The CFP® certification is one of the most respected financial planning credentials and the recognized standard of excellence in personal financial planning.

In addition to serving the financial planning needs of his clients, Tim analyzes investment research and implements trades and various investment strategies. “I have been an advisor for over 20 years and have seen a lot – I use those experiences to help guide myself and to relate to my clients.”

Tim trained in New York City, where he worked 12-hour days. That dedication and effort has stayed with him throughout his career. He is usually one of the first into the office and the last to leave.

Tim joined Raymond James in August 2019. Previously, he was first vice president of wealth management for UBS Financial Services in Birmingham, Michigan, and a second vice president of wealth management at Smith Barney in Southfield, Michigan.
