I have been in Financial Serives since 2011. I am a Graduate of the United States Naval Academy ('95) with a BS in Ocean Engineering and served nine years in the US Navy as a Surface Warfare Officer. Following my departure from the Navy, I embarked on a career in the Defense Industry, working for four years at Booz Allen Hamilton consulting to the Navy and two years in business and product development for Ocean Systems Engineering Corp/QinetiQ North America for Anti-terrorism and Force Protection Systems. I joined my wife, Shawna, and my brother in law Michael Garberich here at Merrill Lynch Wealth Management to assist in delivering the financial strategies and service to clients. As a Senior Financial Advisor, I focus on investment strategies, including research and portfolio reviews, in addition to opportunities that best match individual clients' goals.
