Over nearly three decades of investment advising, Pete has successfully navigated the highs and lows of the market, including two of the worst recessions in U.S. history.

As an Accredited Wealth Management Advisor (AWMA), Pete chairs Legacy's investment committee, evaluating investments, core strategies, risk mitigation, and diversified asset allocation.

Prior to founding Legacy, Pete was recognized as the top producer of two large firms. He prides himself on personal relationships with investment partners and, most importantly, his clients. His extremely high client retention rate is due not just to his performance as an advisor but the trust he builds with each individual.
