CEO & Founder
Brandywine Oak Private Wealth
We help successful individuals and families plan and manage all aspects of their finances, investments, and tax situation.
I founded Brandywine Oak Private Wealth because I believe families deserve truly independent, fiduciary advice and guidance that's focused on reducing taxes and simplifying financial complexity without the limitations of corporate agendas. Throughout my nearly two decades in wealth management, I've had the privilege of helping successful individuals and families navigate important decisions around investments, estate planning, and generational wealth. Many of our clients are current or former corporate executives, entrepreneurs, and professionals who want a strategic partner that will listen closely, act in their best interest, and handle the details that matter. At Brandywine Oak, we believe great planning is personal, proactive, and tax-smart, always centered on what is most important to each client. I'm grateful to have been recognized by Barron's as one of their Top 100 Independent Advisors for four consecutive years (2021–2024), and by Forbes as a Top-Ranked Advisor since 2017. These honors really reflect the incredible work of our entire Brandywine Oak team. Family is central to both my personal and professional identity, and I am deeply grateful for the three "families" that ground and inspire me. First and foremost, my family and my children—they are my greatest joy. Second, the incredible team at Brandywine Oak is driven by purpose, humility, and a relentless commitment to doing right by our clients. Third, the families we have the privilege to serve, whose trust we work hard to earn every single day. Outside of the office, I'm proud to serve on the board of United Way of Southern Chester County and the Abdominal Cancers Alliance. As a cancer survivor myself, giving back to the community and creating greater awareness for stomach and appendiceal cancers is a mission that's deeply personal to me.
