With 14 years of experience in the employee benefits business, I focus on providing sophisticated strategies to companies of all sizes. With over 22,000 investment companies and 6,000 professional money management firms, it can be a daunting task to select the best investment options for defined contribution and/or defined benefit plans.

Qualifications
From 1987 to 1998 I was the CFO of my family-owned frozen food distribution company. We serviced many of the largest food service companies as well as restaurant chains in New York. In 1998, I sold my business to a competitor and began a great career at PaineWebber. My vast experience in understanding the needs of small and mid-size businesses enabled me to provide insightful and timely advice to my business clients. My many years of employee/employer experience provided a deep understanding of the issues that employers face daily. After many years of hard work and much success, I launched my private practice through LPL Financial. I decided to join LPL’s network of independent financial advisors due to their financial strength, integrity and commitment to provide a platform for entrepreneurs like myself. This business model enables me to provide independent and unbiased advice. LPL is the nation’s largest independent broker dealer.
Retirement Seminars
My employee education/enrollment seminars have gained great reviews from my retirement plan clients. These seminars have proven time and time again that employers can increase 401k plan participation if provided a clear and compelling set of reasons why participation in their retirement plans is the “smart thing to do.”
