Current:
Scott manages our Shelburne Falls, MA office, located in the Berkshires of Western Massachusetts. He enjoys getting to know his clients through extensive personal discussions. Recognizing that no two clients are alike, he customizes the appropriate strategy for their situation and goals such that it can change as their situation changes or due to market dynamics. Scott favors a value-approach to investing, looking for stocks that appear undervalued or out-of-favor, but have good prospects based on his rigorous analysis. Scott likes to include fixed-income vehicles in the mix too, when appropriate.
