 Forbes Best-in-State Wealth Advisor 2025


Here To Help You
Turn Your Business Success Into Lasting Wealth

Our business is built on a foundation of thoughtful client relationships.

I’ve spent more than 20 years guiding entrepreneurs, executives, and families through some of the biggest financial decisions of their lives. As Managing Partner of Coastline Wealth Management, I’ve seen one consistent theme: success creates complexity.

Whether it’s growing a family’s wealth, preparing for retirement, or planning the sale of a business, my role is to simplify the moving parts and create a strategy that gives you clarity, confidence, and control.

Honored by Leading Institutions for Proven Expertise & Recognized Leadership

Turning Your Success Into Security and Freedom

Every client I work with has one thing in common. You want to enjoy life today while making sure your future and your family’s future are secure.

For Individuals & Families

That often means growing and protecting wealth in a disciplined way, creating a retirement plan that provides reliable income, and ensuring a legacy passes smoothly to the next generation.

For Business Owners

Your company may be your greatest asset but also your greatest risk. I help business owners align personal wealth with business success by understanding the true value of their company, designing succession and exit strategies that maximize outcomes, and creating post-sale wealth plans that make the next chapter even stronger. Along the way, I put the right safeguards in place, from retirement plans and executive compensation to key man insurance, to protect both your business and your people..

At every stage, my goal is simple. Give you clarity, confidence, and control so you can focus on what matters most.

Simplifying Wealth
So You Can Focus on What Matters Most

I work with families and business owners to grow, protect, and transition their wealth with confidence. Whether you’re building long-term security, planning for retirement, creating a legacy, or preparing for the sale of a business, my role is to cut through the complexity and give you one clear, actionable path forward.

How I Help You Achieve Financial Clarity and Control
I create coordinated strategies that help families build and preserve wealth, enjoy a sustainable retirement, and transfer their legacy with confidence.


Build & Preserve Wealth

Grow your wealth in a disciplined way while protecting it against market volatility, inflation, and unexpected events, with personalized investment and tax-efficient strategies.


Retirement, Transitions & Legacy

Create a plan that provides sustainable income, minimizes taxes, and protects assets through every stage of life, from retirement to business sale to passing on your wealth. With clear strategies for succession and estate planning, we help ensure your legacy is preserved and transferred according to your wishes, maximizing its impact for future generations.


Business Value, Continuity & Post-Sale Wealth

 Gain clarity on the true value of your business and create succession or exit strategies that maximize results while protecting your company with retirement plans, executive compensation, and key man insurance. After the transition or sale, we help you manage proceeds with a coordinated wealth plan that aligns with your personal goals, lifestyle, and long-term legacy.
