Too often during my prior time in the financial world, I saw companies that operated under old models that cared only about selling products, offered incomplete solutions and outdated technology that’s out of step with how the world works, or incentivized their employees and affiliates for things not in the client’s best interests. It is my intention that Peakview Strategies will fix those shortcomings and bring a select group of clients a new experience unlike what they’ve read about online when working with a stereotypical financial advisor. I’d love the opportunity to be of service if you like what you see. I believe it’s my mission in life to help you win with your money, and I have the professional experience and expertise to make it happen. I care deeply about my clients and want to be their biggest advocates in their unique missions to make the most of their money. The best compliments I’ve received are those who have expressed their gratitude for guidance to results they didn’t think were possible and for encouragement to keep going to get to those destinations. When not working to benefit my clients or honing my craft, you’ll likely find me traveling, spending quality time with family and friends, or enjoying one of my many other hobbies. I’m an avid follower of sports, love smoking meat and tasting bourbon, drinking coffee and like the historical figure I’d love to meet (Winston Churchill), am easily satisfied with the very best. I do my best to undo all the smoked meat and bourbon by plugging in for some quality time exercising.

With nearly 25 years of experience in investment research, portfolio management, and advisory operations, I founded my RIA to provide expert guidance to financial advisors and investors. As a CFA Charterholder, CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™, and Accredited Investment Fiduciary (AIF®), my goal is to simplify the complexities of investing and help clients make informed decisions about stocks, bonds, mutual funds, ETFs, annuities, alternatives, and private investments. For advisors, I offer tailored support for creating model portfolios, conducting investment committee meetings, and developing retirement plan strategies, all aimed at enhancing advisor-client relationships and delivering better outcomes. Over the years, I’ve worked in various roles, from equity research and fixed income trading to serving as the de-facto Chief Investment Officer for a large RIA. My services cover a wide range of needs, including life insurance analysis, capital gains budgeting, structured product and annuity evaluations, options-based strategies for individual stock positions, IPS reviews, enhanced prospect conversions, and the development of customized model portfolios. I pride myself on providing data-driven insights to help advisors improve their practices, better serve their clients, and grow their businesses. In addition to my professional work, I enjoy spending time with my wife and four kids, golfing, traveling, coaching youth sports, and mentoring students. I’m passionate about investing in future generations and advancing the fields of finance and investing. My technical expertise, combined with a personal approach, allows me to work alongside advisors to elevate their client offerings, streamline operations, and achieve lasting success.
