Hello, and welcome to my web site. I am a financial professional for AXA Advisors, LLC. Wanting to help people is what first attracted me to the financial services industry, and that is what has kept me going throughout my career.

I work to help clients protect themselves, their families and their businesses from the unexpected turns life often takes, and to help guide them toward a solid financial future.

Whether you are interested in protection for your family, education funding for your children, a secure retirement or the growth of your business, I want to help you achieve your goals by designing a financial strategy specific to your needs.

If I can be of assistance to you, your family or your business in helping to make any financial goal a reality, please contact me.

HOT TOPIC: Why Global Investors Are Worried About European Debt

For Better, For Worse: Communicating About Retirement

A recent study indicates that couples are not communicating clearly about retirement goals and strategies, even as they approach retirement age. This article offers suggestions to open a dialogue and encourages couples to discuss their retirement needs and desires with each other and with their financial advisor.

Deciding When to Begin

Waiting until full retirement age (or up to age 70) to claim Social Security may result in significantly higher monthly benefits. At age 62, the earliest age to claim Social Security, the amount received could be only 70% of the benefit received at "full retirement age" (which ranges from age 65 to 67 depending on year of birth).

Favorable Dividend and Capital Gains Tax Rates Extended—for Now

The 2010 Tax Relief Act extended the 15% maximum tax rates on qualified dividends and long-term capital gains through December 31, 2012. But without further legislation, dividends will be taxed at ordinary income tax rates and capital gains tax rates will return to 20% (23.8% for investors in the two highest tax brackets) in 2013.
