Investment Management
in New York State's North Country
A Disciplined Approach to Investing for Your Goals
Professional portfolio management designed to align risk, return and your personal priorities.
Investment Management is about more than picking stocks — it’s about building a portfolio that supports your goals, your risk tolerance and your timeline.
I create tailored investment strategies designed to balance growth, income and protection, so your money is working as hard as you are.
You gain ongoing oversight, rebalancing and adjustments as markets shift, ensuring your portfolio stays aligned with your bigger financial plan.
What sets me apart is a disciplined, research-driven approach combined with a fiduciary duty to put your interests first.

How We Can Work Together
We offer two flexible service options—you can choose either, or both depending on your needs:
We help you create a comprehensive, personalized financial plan tailored to your life today and your long-term goals.
Your plan may include:
- Retirement and cash flow projections
- Investment and tax strategy
- Insurance and estate planning review
- Education funding
- Health care and long-term care considerations
We charge a one-time flat fee for this service, which varies depending on the complexity of your situation. We recommend reviewing and updating your plan periodically, especially after major life changes.
If you need ongoing professional help managing your investments, we offer portfolio management and ongoing financial planning services:
- If we've created your financial plan, it guides our investment strategy.
- If you already have a plan or none at all, we begin with a strategy meeting to understand your risk tolerance and goals.
Our portfolio management fee is based on a percentage of your portfolio, using a sliding scale tied to the size of your assets. Included in this service is ongoing financial planning to ensure that your financial plan continues to meet your current life situation and priorities.
Discount for Both Services
If you choose to have us manage your investments after completing your financial plan, we’ll apply your planning fee toward your investment management fee—helping to reduce or offset your first year’s cost.
