My Early Story–Where It All Began

My interest in finance began at eleven, spending summers golfing with my grandfather and then watching Fast Money and Mad Money on CNBC while talking through the markets. He later opened a small custodial account, and investing together sparked a lasting passion. By fifteen, I understood personal finance better than most adults, and later in college, professors often joked I could teach the class. That early foundation continues to shape how I think about money, legacy, and purpose today.

My Early Career — Learning the Financial Services Industry

I began my professional career as a financial advisor at Bank of America Merrill Lynch in the Suburbs of Chicago in 2016. When My wife and I moved to Naples, Florida, I joined Fidelity Investments, where I led a team of six professionals serving high-net-worth clients by creating, implementing, and maintaining financial plans.

These chapters of my career gave me a thorough view of the financial services industry, illuminating its best qualities, shortcomings, and tougher realities.

Why I Founded Paladin Wealth Services — A Commitment to A Higher Standard

Paladin Wealth Services was created because I believe people deserve better than the status quo. You deserve a firm that’s structured in a way that doesn’t leave you at disadvantage and delivers superior comprehensive advice. A partner committed to your family’s enduring support, not viewing you as a data point.

Our focus is on asking the right questions, preserving what matters most, and designing tax and investment strategies that reflect your values and support a purpose-driven legacy.
