Get to know us

At First Citizens Wealth, we’ve been helping clients plan for the future for over 125 years. It’s a heritage that shapes the service we offer and the values that guide us. Every day, our teams provide advice and solutions that empower clients like you to plan for their dreams and safeguard the future for themselves and their loved ones.

When you work with the Client Solutions Center at First Citizens, we begin with a conversation over the phone or through secure video call. My goal is to fully understand what you and your family want for your future. Based on those discussions, I’ll create a comprehensive, personalized plan for you that includes our best thinking on strategies to fit your needs and help avoid potential pitfalls along the way. And as we uncover areas of your plan that need to be addressed, I’ll pull in other experienced financial professionals from our team to meet those needs.

Regardless of where you are in your financial journey or where you are in the U.S., I can help you build a comprehensive and customized plan – so you can make more informed and effective decisions about your money.
