Jay began his career in 2008, working as a financial consultant at Waddell & Reed, before transitioning to MML Investment Services LLC in 2011, where he has been for the last 12 years. His focus has been on crafting long-range comprehensive strategies for his physician clients, who span 41 states. His focused approach to the physician market has allowed him to develop unique and personalized strategies that benefit his clients and that help them nurture their growing assets as they mature in their careers.
Jay brings other financial planning background to Heritage, centered around risk management and insurance, investment management, 401k plans, brokerage accounts, and higher education funding. Jay is thrilled to join an established group in Heritage.
“Heritage is a very collaborative place with a tremendous focus on the client experience,” Jay said. “I am excited to join the firm because of the priority that Heritage places on the planner-client relationship, and because of the depth of resources that they provide that I can bring to the table for my clients.”
He partners with his physician clients to utilize a diversified set of assets that allow them the opportunity to build wealth, manage their growing careers, and provide a solid foundation from which to build a lasting legacy for themselves and their families.
