Morgan products to help manage both sides of the balance sheet and provide appropriate strategies for an array of needs—investment management, tailored lending programs and mortgage financing, trust and estate planning and more. With over 20 years of wealth management experience, Ben brings extensive background and thought leadership to his practice. He is committed to nurturing strong relationships and strives to build a deep level of trust.

This designation positions advisors to develop strategies that help minimize tax impacts, monetize and protect assets, maximize growth and prepare for the transfer of wealth.
As residents of Issaquah, WA, Ben and his children, Charlotte and Dominic, take advantage of all that the Pacific Northwest has to offer. Together, they enjoy boating, biking, golfing and skiing.
