I started my career at Fidelity Investments before transitioning to Merrill Lynch to join a wealth management team managing $2.2 billion in assets. In January 2020, I broke away from Merrill Lynch to found Incline Wealth Advisors, an independent, fiduciary, wealth management firm. I had to persevere a very tough start when the Covid pandemic broke out in early 2020, but was able to make it through the tough times with my business. I have since grown tremendously since then and have brought on two employees. Through my business I work closely with business owners to provide advice on retirement planning, investment and risk management, cash flow and debt management, estate planning, tax strategies, business exits, acquisitions and succession planning. In 2022, I acquired a local business called GameMaster Athletic. In addition to being an owner in the business I sit on our Board of Directors and oversee some operations with our current CEO. I am married and have 5 children.
