Clients I specialize in: Business owners, New investors, Planning for college

It is my pleasure to serve the financial needs of people in Oceanside . My experience in the financial industry started in 2008 and I became a Wealth Management Banker in 2023.

I want to make managing your finances as easy as possible for you. As your Wealth Management Banker, I will partner with an investment professional to bring you a holistic approach to financial management. We will collaborate to understand your financial situation and propose personalized strategies to help you work toward your financial goals.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my wife and four daughters at the beach or some kind of sporting event.

Services I specialize in

To support your personal or business needs we offer a range of premier banking products, financing options and exclusive benefits, plus 24/7 account management through digital channels.

Liquid asset secured financing – a line of credit secured by eligible assets in your investment account – can be useful when you want to generate cash flow quickly for a financial opportunity or challenge.

From purchasing a first home to financing investment property, we have your mortgage needs covered with a variety of loan options, plus information to support you on your homebuying journey.

A home equity line of credit, or HELOC, works like a credit card that’s secured by the equity you have in your home, and can be a cost-effective way to pay for major purchases.

Whether a loan, line of credit or other financing alternative is the best fit for what you’re working to achieve, we’ll help you review your options and create a funding plan.
