Job Titles:
- Co - Owner / Founder, LPL Financial Advisor
I partner with my clients to build a confident financial future - whatever that dream looks like for them. I take a holistic approach to financial planning. Working with me is not like working "with the guy at the bank." I believe that money is emotional first and foremost. That's where we start. Then we look at evidence-based information and bring it all together to build your financial plan. I try to take some of the fear and anxiety out of those money decisions that sometimes feel easier to ignore, but keep us up at night.
Previous to working in the financial services industry, I had a 20 year career in non-profit fundraising and executive management. I worked with major donors and wrote grants for many organizations in northern New Mexico, including serving as Executive Director of the Taos Sports Alliance and starting maternal child health home visiting programs in Taos County and on Taos Pueblo. I served as the Director of Marketing and Development for Taos Health Systems and as the Grants Officer for Taos Community Foundation prior to that.
I started working with Ric ten years ago. Together, we incorporate our mutual dedication for helping people. I have a Graduate Certificate in Health Care Executive Management, MA in English and was a Certified Fundraising Executive (CFRE) for twelve years. I have also been a yoga instructor with training in mindfulness meditation, mediation and facilitation.
I am a native of Kansas City, and while my Midwest roots run deep, I have been dedicated to the high prairies and mountain hikes of New Mexico for 25 years. I raised my son on the slopes of Taos Ski Valley.

Job Titles:
- Co - Owner / Founder & Wealth Advisor
I have worked in banking and wealth management for 30 years. For 11 years I served as a commercial banker and lender for Wells Fargo in Northern New Mexico, working from Santa Fe to Taos and east to Raton. During that time, I started the Taos Housing Fund to work on affordable housing, and I served on the Board of Directors for the Taos Entrepreneurial Network where I supported new business owners during their start up phase.
I spent a 15-year tenure with Edward Jones in Taos and then in Albuquerque. During that time I was in the top 10% nationally for customer service and I mentored six new advisors into the industry, serving as a coach with the firm. I am passionate about bringing in new and young professionals into the financial industry. I believe in continuous learning to meet the best needs of my clients. In 2021, I launched my own independent firm with LPL Financial in partnership with my wife, Kelley. Together we put our clients' needs first.
I serve clients and their families across northern New Mexico and in 27 states. I know that my clients have families across the country and I work across the country to build inter-generational relationships with families. Transferring wealth, managing multi-generational wealth is a challenge that I take on actively. Managing wealth is a family-affair. I love working with clients, especially those with complex situations that often accompany our money.
I am a native of Yorkshire, England. I immigrated to the states in the mid-eighties, graduated from the University of Connecticut and found my path to New Mexico shortly thereafter. I love cars and art and long hikes with my dog. I have four project cars, a 1979 Porsche, 1985 Jaguar XJS, 1993 Land Rover Discovery, and a 1986 BMW e30.
