My goal as a financial advisor is to deliver an unparalleled level of service and a positive experience to best meet clients' unique set of needs, with a full balance sheet perspective I make sure I advise on both their assets and liabilities. My driving force is to help them achieve their goals both near and long term. I grew up in San Francisco and attended San Francisco State University where I received a BA in Economics and an MBA. I started my financial services career at Citibank in 2005. Now I count with over 15 years of professional background in this field, fully dedicated to roles at Wells Fargo Private Bank, Abbot Downing (fka Wells Fargo Family Wealth), First Republic, Prudential Financial and BBVA Global Wealth. During this experience, I helped teams manage investments for both institutional and individual clients with assets ranging from $1mm to $1b, I also continued my education becoming a CFA charterholder, and a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER professional. With my transition to Merrill Lynch Wealth Management, I enjoy utilizing a world-class platform and synthesize my education and experience to strive to deliver a level of financial guidance experience like no other. Danville, CA is my home and in my free time I enjoy spending time with my wife, Anastasiia, and two kids (Katerina age 2, and Viktor, 6 weeks). I practiced martial arts for a long time, so when the kids are older, I hope to return to that as a "free time" hobby. As a family, we love to spend time outdoors, especially at our cabin in Groveland, CA. *CMT and Chartered Market Technician are registered trademarks owned by CMT Association. *CFA and Chartered Financial Analyst are registered trademarks by CFA Institute. *Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards Inc. owns the certification marks CFP and CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER in the U.S.
