Managing Director: Financial Planning
Baldwin & Clarke Advisory Services, LLC
I joined the BaldwinClarke family fresh out of college in 1982. I found out very early in my career that I thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of the financial services field and have been a devoted student of it ever since. Throughout the years, I have had the wonderful opportunity to work with some very high quality and knowledgeable professionals in this industry. Every client situation has been unique, rewarding and privilege to work on. Over time, BaldwinClarke has added many new planning services for both individuals and business owners to help address some to the new and specialized needs created by an everchanging financial world. My time away from BaldwinClarke is spent at home in Bedford with my wife and our 2 Cocker Spaniels. We enjoy spending time with our son at his house and playing with his 4 puppies. I enjoy spending time working in our yard as well as playing tennis and fitness training (which is most notable when looking at the 100 lbs that I have gained since starting at BaldwinClarke).
Financial & Estate Planning for Individuals and Business Owners
My primary focus in the Advisory Company is in the financial and estate planning area addressing the needs of individuals as well as closely held business owners. The planning can take many forms including wealth accumulation plans, wealth and estate preservation plans, and comprehensive financial plans. Additionally, planning for a business owner may involve business continuity planning, business transfer planning, and employee benefit and retention planning (qualified and non-qualified). Each plan is custom designed to fit the specific goals, needs and circumstances of the client. Of course, planning for the business owner is closely intertwined with their personal financial and estate planning so a comprehensive view is taken.
