MY MISSION STATEMENT

I help you see the opportunities, understand the risks, and begin to imagine all
that lies ahead
My Story and ServicesAlternative InvestmentsFinancial PlanningDivorce Planning5
Minutes With PabloLocation

2022 MESSAGE

Helping people is truly my passion. I enjoy playing the role of Financial
Advisor in your life, whether it’s helping you finding financial solutions for
your children’s education, your personal retirement and legacy dreams, or your
life post-divorce. I also help you plan for the “what ifs” – the unexpected
career change, the financial burden of a health challenge, or the sudden loss of
a relationship.

I believe people make better choices when they feel in control of the process.
My financial planning process shows you how your plan should work, so that you
can actually see the opportunities, understand the risks, and begin to imagine
all that lies ahead. I will challenge you to look beyond what’s happened up
until now and start to imagine what could be possible. As Einstein said,
“…knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination
embraces the entire world…”

I currently serve on Morgan Stanley’s National Financial Advisor Advisory
Council where I serve as a liaison with Senior Management on strategic
initiatives for both the firm and our clients. I received my Bachelor of Arts
Degree in business from Southwestern University and an MBA in finance from The
University of Houston. I have been awarded the “FIVE STAR: Wealth Manager” award
by Texas Monthly for seven consecutive years (2016 -2022), recognized on the
Forbes Next Gen Best-In-State Wealth advisors in 2019 and the Forbes
Best-In-State Wealth advisors in 2022.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, golfing, and
playing pickle ball. I am happily married, the father of two sets of twins and I
reside in Magnolia, Texas.

A PLAN TAILORED TO YOUR NEEDS

A generation ago, financial planning was relatively straightforward – people
focused on wealth accumulation and then shifted most or all assets into
conservative instruments to provide retirement income and principal stability.
But today’s world is more complex, and turning a lifetime of savings into a
lifetime of sustainable income for people who are living longer, healthier, and
more active lives means attending to a wide range of issues simultaneously.

Smart investing begins with comprehensive financial planning. My client-focused
approach is guided by two decades of experience and by my knowledge and skills
as a Chartered Retirement Planning CounselorSM and Certified Divorce Financial
Analyst®.

The use of the CDFA designation does not permit the rendering of legal advice by
Morgan Stanley or its Financial Advisors which may only be done by a licensed
attorney. The CDFA designation is not intended to imply that either Morgan
Stanley or its Financial Advisors are acting as experts in this field.

Together, we answer questions that may seem daunting:

- Do I have enough money to live for 20 years or more in retirement?
- How is it possible to generate enough income with low interest rates?
- What can I expect for inflation?
- Can my portfolio weather a market downturn?
- Are my assets protected if something unexpected happens?

Some of the areas where I apply my advanced knowledge on your behalf include:
* Investment Management
You can rely on me to design holistic and strategic financial plans that
match your family’s goals.
* Retirement Planning
I will help you develop and implement a strategy that encompasses your needs
before, during and after you retire and is based on your personal vision of
retirement.
* Pre - and Post - Divorce Planning
I’ll help you identify financial issues and consequences, as well as define
your potential choices.
* Managing Your Liquidity Needs
I’ll keep an eye on your cash flow needs as your goals and finances evolve.
* Trust, Estate & Legacy Planning
I’ll help you implement your plan for passing on your assets in a way that
honors your values as well as your financial commitments.

Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC does not accept appointments nor will it act
as a trustee but it will provide access to trust services through an
appropriate third‐party corporate trustee.
* Education Planning & Family Concerns
I’ll make a plan for the education and well-being of your children or
grandchildren, as well as your parents or other relatives who might need
assistance now or in the future.
* Life Insurance and Long Term Care
I want to make sure your family is protected during difficult times.

Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC offers insurance products in conjunction with
its licensed insurance agency affiliates.

DEFINING THE NEXT STEPS

I believe every divorcing person deserves a true advocate. You deserve someone
who deeply understands and is actively defending your best financial interests
during and after the divorce. And, you deserve to work with someone who’s on
your side – because your future is worth it. I define my role as your financial
advocate. It’s my job to help you understand the financial issues in clear terms
so that you make smart decisions about your financial future.

As a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst®, I provide the financial guidance
necessary to help you and your attorney:

- Understand key issues
- Develop creative settlement solutions
- Evaluate the short and long-term financial impact the settlement will have on
you.

Once a divorce is complete, we’ll explore your new goals together and work to
find ways to make them happen financially. You’ll find reassurance in the
financially planning process as we strategize about:

- Budgeting
- Retirement planning
- Asset protection and insurance
- Estate planning Strategies
- Investments
- College savings

Take a deep breath. Every decision that you’re asked to make during the divorce
process can seem to have the potential for life changing impact. But, my many
years of experience ensures you have a trusted advisor to lean on for clear
thinking, perspective and guidance towards a future that makes sense to you.

3Morgan Stanley offers a wide array of brokerage and advisory services to its
clients, each of which may create a different type of relationship with
different obligations to you. Please consult with your Financial Advisor to
understand these differences or review our Understanding Your Brokerage and
Investment Advisory Relationships brochure available at
www.morganstanley.com/wealth-relationshipwithms/pdfs/understandingyourrelationship.pdf.

4Alternative Investments are speculative and include a high degree of risk. An
investor could lose all or a substantial amount of his/her investment.
Alternative investments are appropriate only for qualified, long-term investors
who are willing to forgo liquidity and put capital at risk for an indefinite
period of time.

5Annuities are offered in conjunction with Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC’s
licensed insurance agency affiliates.

6Insurance products are offered in conjunction with Morgan Stanley Smith Barney
LLC’s licensed insurance agency affiliates.

7Municipal bonds may not be appropriate for all investors. Income generated from
an investment in a municipal bond is generally exempt from federal income taxes.
Some income may be subject to state and local taxes and to the federal
alternative minimum tax. Capital gains, if any, are subject to tax.
Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC (“Morgan Stanley”) and its Financial Advisors
and Private Wealth Advisors do not provide any tax/legal advice. Consult your
own tax/legal advisor before making any tax or legal-related investment
decisions.

8The returns on a portfolio consisting primarily of Environmental, Social and
Governance (“ESG”) aware investments may be lower or higher than a portfolio
that is more diversified or where decisions are based solely on investment
considerations. Because ESG criteria exclude some investments, investors may not
be able to take advantage of the same opportunities or market trends as
investors that do not use such criteria. Diversification does not guarantee a
profit or protect against loss in a declining financial market.

2013 Barron's Hall of Fame
Barron's Hall Of Fame 2013 List
Source: The Barron’s “Hall of Fame” list, published throughout 2015 and based on
Barron’s rankings received over the prior 10 years.
The Barron’s Hall of Fame recognizes those advisors who have appeared at least
10 times on one of Barron’s annual Top 100 Advisor rankings. Those rankings are:
Top 100 Advisors, Top 100 Women Advisors, and Top 100 Independent Advisors.
Advisors considered for the Top 100 Advisors rankings have a minimum of seven
years financial services experience and have been employed at their current firm
for at least one year. Financial Advisors are quantitatively ranked based on
varying types of revenues and assets advised by the financial professional, with
weightings associated for each. Because individual client portfolio performance
varies and is typically unaudited, these rankings focus on customer satisfaction
and quality of advice. The rankings may not be representative of any one
client’s experience because they reflect a sample of all of the experiences of
the Financial Advisor’s clients. The rankings are not indicative of the
Financial Advisor’s future performance. Neither Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC

The Barron’s Hall of Fame recognizes those advisors who have appeared at least
10 times on one of Barron’s annual Top 100 Advisor rankings. Those rankings are:
Top 100 Advisors, Top 100 Women Advisors, and Top 100 Independent Advisors.
Advisors considered for the Top 100 Advisors rankings have a minimum of seven
years financial services experience and have been employed at their current firm
for at least one year. Financial Advisors are quantitatively ranked based on
varying types of revenues and assets advised by the financial professional, with
weightings associated for each. Because individual client portfolio performance
varies and is typically unaudited, these rankings focus on customer satisfaction
and quality of advice. The rankings may not be representative of any one
client’s experience because they reflect a sample of all of the experiences of
the Financial Advisor’s clients. The rankings are not indicative of the
Financial Advisor’s future performance. Neither Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC

Barron's Hall Of Fame 2019 List
Source: The Barron’s “Hall of Fame” list, published throughout 2020 and based on
Barron’s rankings received over the prior 10 years.
The Barron’s Hall of Fame recognizes those advisors who have appeared at least
10 times on one of Barron’s annual Top 100 Advisor rankings. Those rankings are:
Top 100 Advisors, Top 100 Women Advisors, and Top 100 Independent Advisors.
Advisors considered for the Top 100 Advisors rankings have a minimum of seven
years financial services experience and have been employed at their current firm
for at least one year. Financial Advisors are quantitatively ranked based on
varying types of revenues and assets advised by the financial professional, with
weightings associated for each. Because individual client portfolio performance
varies and is typically unaudited, these rankings focus on customer satisfaction
and quality of advice. The rankings may not be representative of any one
client’s experience because they reflect a sample of all of the experiences of
the Financial Advisor’s clients. The rankings are not indicative of the
Financial Advisor’s future performance. Neither Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC
nor its Financial Advisors or Private Wealth Advisors pays a fee to Barron's in
exchange for inclusion on the “Hall of Fame” list or any of its rankings.

Barron’s rankings received over the prior 10 years.
The Barron’s Hall of Fame recognizes those advisors who have appeared at least
10 times on one of Barron’s annual Top 100 Advisor rankings. Those rankings are:
Top 100 Advisors, Top 100 Women Advisors, and Top 100 Independent Advisors.
Advisors considered for the Top 100 Advisors rankings have a minimum of seven
years financial services experience and have been employed at their current firm
for at least one year. Financial Advisors are quantitatively ranked based on
varying types of revenues and assets advised by the financial professional, with
weightings associated for each. Because individual client portfolio performance
varies and is typically unaudited, these rankings focus on customer satisfaction
and quality of advice. The rankings may not be representative of any one
client’s experience because they reflect a sample of all of the experiences of
the Financial Advisor’s clients. The rankings are not indicative of the
Financial Advisor’s future performance. Neither Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC
nor its Financial Advisors or Private Wealth Advisors pays a fee to Barron's in
