His approach is distinctive in nature; he advises a select group of individuals and families who appreciate the value and singularity of a concerted focus on their needs and aspirations, delivered with continuity and professionalism.

Doug begins each relationship by developing a thorough understanding of each client’s financial balance sheet and circles of influence. He then looks to uncover possible efficiencies across multiple touch points of client wealth. His areas of focus include portfolio management, client reporting, risk management strategies, concentrated stock diversification, personalized cash-flow analysis and budgeting, and wealth analysis and long-term planning. In parallel with these efforts, Doug directs close collaboration and ongoing communication with a client’s external tax and legal advisors. Through these efforts, he looks to harness a symbiotic relationship that enhances transparency and unites multiple financial disciplines, honing the focus on each client. Doug measures his team’s success strictly in terms of client outcomes, believing that his team’s personal success can only manifest itself through the success of each client.

Doug joined Merrill in 1994 and was asked to become one of the first Private Wealth Advisors at the firm’s inaugural Private Wealth Management Group office in Menlo Park, California.
