                  As Managing Director at BPGE Capital Management, I believe that delivering the best possible service means giving advice that needs to be heard – not always the advice they want to hear. With empathy, an open ear, and a lifelong commitment to doing better, I am focused on being there for my clients through whatever life might throw their way. Honesty and an open mind (for both parties) is the only way to create the best path forward to achieving the important milestones that matter most.

                  After 12 years at Wells Fargo Advisors, I knew that it was time remove myself from the cumbersome environment of a wirehouse firm. Along with my four partners and staff, I helped to create BPGE Capital Management to deliver specialized solutions and guidance under a refined framework created and maintained our way.

                  With over a decade of experience as an advisor, and through a true team approach, I have had the privilege to work with many individuals and families. In addition, I assist several businesses, trusts, and charitable organizations as well as institutions and foundations. Every client has varied goals and objectives and it is important to identify each and every one of them. Regardless of these differences, each deserves a high level of service and prudent advice at all times.

                  Whether I am coaching sports teams, helping out in school, or just watching a Marvel Movie together, you will find me with my kids Siena & Giacomo when I am not working with my clients. I stay connected with my community by being on the Alumni Board and the Hall of Fame Committee at De La Salle High School. I graduated with a BA in Business Administration (Honors concentration Finance) from St. Mary’s College right here in Moraga CA.
