My mission is to protect, enhance, and simplify my clients' financial journeys, providing them with the freedom to focus on what truly matters.
My interest in financial markets began at a young age and has grown into a lifelong commitment to helping others achieve financial success. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of serving clients across the United States, tailoring my approach to meet their unique needs and aspirations.
If you're a high net worth individual looking for a dedicated partner to help protect, enhance, and simplify your financial life, I invite you to connect with me. Let's work together to achieve your financial goals and unlock the full potential of your wealth.
On a personal note, I reside in both Austin, Texas, and Newport Beach, California, balancing my professional life with a fulfilling personal life alongside my wife, Julia, and our three children, Nick, Matt, and Josh. I believe true wealth extends beyond financial success. It's about having the time and freedom to pursue passions, spend quality time with loved ones, and make a positive impact on the world. By managing the complexities of your financial life, I strive to give you peace of mind and freedom to focus on what truly matters.

About our Firm
Veritas Wealth Partners is a fee-only investment advisory firm dedicated to helping clients achieve their personal financial objectives through the preservation and growth of wealth.
We do not make money from commissions or selling products. Our task is to build and monitor client portfolios through a consistent and disciplined investment process that includes meeting with clients as often as desired.
Our expertise is simplifying complex issues such as portfolio management, capital growth, wealth preservation, retirement transitions, tax minimization, and gifting strategies.
Our Process
✔️ Client Centric: Each client's unique circumstances and preferences should dictate their long-term asset allocation. We rely on each client's return requirements, risk tolerance, tax considerations, liquidity needs to customize their investment strategy.
✔️ Transparent: As guardians of our client's wealth we put their interests first and are transparent about how we manage it. We explain things simply and thoroughly, and clients always have access to their money.
Our Investment Philosophy
✔️ Diversification Reduces Risk: Proper diversification is the most important component of reaching investment objectives while minimizing risk.
✔️ Risk and Return are Related: Investors are compensated for taking on market risk. As such, the performance of a diversified portfolio is primarily determined by the asset allocation decision.
