Job Titles:

After nearly 10 years with the big firms, I established THOMAS Comprehensive Financial Consulting (THOMAS CFC) in April 2009 because I wanted to create customized and comprehensive solutions for my clients. For over 10 years, I successfully managed THOMAS CFC as both Principal and Financial Advisor. In January 2020, myself and Jeff Smith formed OWL Private Wealth Advisors to create a firm with greater emphasis on leading technology and client-focused goals-based planning. I am a Managing Partner and Private Wealth Advisor with OWL Private Wealth Advisors and have 20+ years of experience in the financial services industry.
