“I’m incredibly proud to see Drew and Mike recognized for the 10th year in a row,” said Lauren Gorsche, UBS Los Angeles Market Executive, “Their client-first approach, deep knowledge of the private wealth business, and ability to connect executives, entrepreneurs and families with bespoke solutions make them one of the premier Private Wealth teams in the country.”

Drew leverages his background in engineering while taking a quantitative and analytical approach to investing. Michael previously served as Co-Chair of the UBS Financial Advisor Advisory Council (FAAC), a select group that addresses the critical issues and concerns that ultimately help advisors better serve their clients. Both Advisors have been recognized on numerous Barron’s lists, including the Top 100 Financial Advisors (2015 – 2022) and Top 100 Private Wealth Management Teams (2021 – 2022).

This year’s Barron’s Top 1200 Wealth Advisors list based on the data of around 6,000 of the nation’s most productive advisors.
