Business Experience
- Our most deeply held principle at Morgan Stanley Smith Barney* is that clients come first. I am proud to be a part of that tradition. To help you meet your financial objectives and build your wealth, I listen to your personal goals and then offer effective approaches to achieve them. Morgan Stanley Smith Barney has unparalleled resources that include planning expertise, investment and insurance strategies, and state-of-the-art technology designed to streamline any financial picture. Allow me to put these to work for you.
- Bill spent 19 years in finance and real estate development as an executive prior to coming to Morgan Stanley Smith Barney. He graduated from Duquesne University with a B.S. in International Business, and from Thunderbird with an M.B.A. in International Management. He also holds Executive Certificates both in Foreign Languages from CLI Dante Alighieri, Florence, Italy, and in Financial Planning from Georgetown University, Washington, D.C.
- In his own words, "I help a select group of individuals and businesses create a blueprint to manage all aspects of their financial lives. My team will develop a written plan that consists of two primary objectives: building and preserving your wealth; while at the same time, moving toward a secondary objective of reducing your taxes, both estate and income."
- "I will help you establish your short-term and long-term objectives and set suitable strategies to achieve your goals. We will then construct and implement appropriate solutions, continually monitor the results, and periodically review the progress of your specific financial goals."
- "My approach is to concentrate not only upon the asset management side of your portfolio, but also the liability management side, placing brick upon brick, course upon course, until we have a solid financial foundation upon which to build your future."
