About Me

I am Wolf's Dad and Karen's husband. Professionally, I am a Managing Partner and Private Wealth Advisor, with more than 22 years of expertise in financial and wealth planning. Prior to forming OWL Private Wealth Advisors, I was a First Vice President of Wealth Management at UBS where I served not only as a Wealth Advisor but also in a leadership role for the Michigan Market. I am a graduate of the Eli Broad College of Business at Michigan State University and have completed post graduate coursework at The American College, Oakland University, The College for Financial Planning and most recently, The University of Chicago- Booth School of Business. I regularly conducts educational seminars about retirement planning and investing for the employees and retirees of multiple Fortune 500 companies. Additionally, I was featured in the July 2013 Building Wealth in Southeast Michigan section of Kiplinger's Personal Finance Magazine.

When not in the office, I enjoy spending time with Karen and Wolf - skiing, playing golf & cheering on the Michigan State Spartans.

To make Wealthtender free for readers, we earn a nominal monthly fee from financial advisors and firms in exchange for marketing services (including being featured on this profile page), subject to terms of use. This compensation creates a natural conflict of interest when we favor their promotion over others. Wealthtender is not a client of these advisors or firms. Testimonials may not be representative of other clients’ experiences and do not guarantee future performance or success.
