Work Experience

I spent 13.5 years as Vice President-Client Consultant for Manning & Napier, a Rochester, NY based investment management firm and the largest in New York State outside of Wall Street in which I was responsible for servicing approximately $1.1B in client assets and ensuring my clients were positioned appropriately to achieve their respective goals and objectives. I was then recruited by and joined Sandhill Investment Management, an asset manager located in Buffalo, NY, as a Partner and Investment Advisor. I had great success in my approximately 5 years with Sandhill. Following the pandemic, after extensive study and research and study, I came to the inevitable and painful conclusion that the macroeconomic environment had/has fundamentally changed and that I no longer had the necessary tools to help my clients to successfully navigate the new environment we now live in. This lead my Partner and our Chief Investment Officer, Kasey Wopperer, whom was a colleague of mine at Manning & Napier to form Stone Creek Advisors in July 2022. We believe that as a result of the massive shifts in the macroeconomic environment, economic and market cycles will be significantly shorter than they have been for the past four decades and as a result, investors have to be much more active and nimble with a focus on risk management in order to successfully achieve their respective goals and objectives.
