Director of Business Development (Growth Guy)

BlueFin Strategies LLC

Principal

Morgan Stanley

In 2022, I assisted Vic Roy with transitioning his Private Wealth business to Morgan Stanley. This business consisted of a multi-family office approach with an average client net worth of $50M+. We also continued our initiative in Exit Planing towards the SMB/MMB space by advising on multiple eight and nine figure exits. This clearly led to a deep focus on estate and legacy planning. 

Within my first few months at Morgan Stanley, I was invited to apply and ultimately accepted to be a member of the prestigious PWAA program that only accepts 10 members per cohort.

During the transition to Morgan Stanley, I was able to re establish as well as enhance many of the tax optimization strategies that I deployed at UBS.

Private Wealth Advisor 

Investment Consultant

I joined Managing Director Vic Roy in 2021 as a partner to lead the strategic planning practice within his private wealth business. Within the first year on the team, I implemented multiple strategic planning initiatives that helped to boost production by 25%+ during a bear market. These strategies helped our clients to optimize their tax efficiency as well as protect their downside.They included:

- Pairing direct index investing with opportunity zone funds
- Security backed lending arbitrage with structured yield investments 
- Pre sale planning around the SALT Tax workaround among other strategies 
- Private foundation creation and implementation

Financial Advisor 

During my time as a WPA, I worked with the top teams in the DC market to create and execute strategic planning engagements. The majority of my work was with founders planning around M&A or exit transactions. One of the teams that I worked with exclusively was The Capital ESOP Group, one of the leading advisors in the 1042 space.

While in the role, I worked on billions in collective exit value where strategic planning led to tens of millions in tax optimization.
