Hi, I'm Mark the guy on the left in the dark suit, white shirt and red tie. Before starting Tailwind Wealth Advisors I worked at the big Wall Street firms: Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley. I took over a year to study and attend the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania to become a Certified Investment Management Analyst, CIMA® in 2012. I believed the Graduate level courses and tests taught at the Wharton School on Modern Portfolio Theory, Behavioral Finance, Alternative Investments and Investment Policy would help me be better at my job, it did! I have been recognized and featured several times in San Diego Magazine as a “Five Star Wealth Manager”
I grew up in Orange County, have a degree in Economics from San Diego State University and have been lucky to call Carlsbad home since 1997. I enjoy Triathlons (5-time Ironman Finisher), surfing, golf and wine and not necessarily in that order. I have 2 sons, Cheyne and Christian and have been fortunate to be able to both coach and sponsor their Baseball and Flag Football teams!
