I know how important it is to make informed financial decisions… protecting all that we’ve accumulated, enjoying our lives today, and transferring our wealth to our heirs and the charities of our choice. With over 30 years of experience, I help people make better money-related decisions, whether it’s by reducing current taxes, protecting assets from being unjustly taken, providing for family heirs and if they're so inclined, helping them optimize their charitable donations. Perhaps the most fulfilling part of my job is when I help families when they have complex trust and estate planning issues, as well as recommending wealth transfer strategies to minimize taxes. I’ve been a speaker and/or panelist at seminars for financial planners, brokers, financial executives and retail investors. For over 20 years I’ve written articles about conservative asset strategies. In my personal life, I’ve been an organizer and co-founder of a Jewish Day School in Great Neck. I was also elected Treasurer of the International Federation of Jewish Men’s Clubs where I revised their entire budget procedure. I’m currently active with the Great Neck Chamber of Commerce, a Charter Member of the Kiwanis Club of Great Neck Peninsula, and the President-Elect of the Rotary Club of Great Neck. Specialties: Financial, estate and retirement planning, including conservative fixed income investments, tax-free and tax deferred strategies, as well as pension planning, college planning and insurance strategies which we incorporate into wills and trusts in order to mitigate taxation and protect both personal and business assets.…show more
