Partner, Head of Planning

Marcus leads family planning relationships, with particular depth in estate coordination, legacy decisions, and multigenerational communication.

Background

Experience, applied with context.

Marcus began his career in advanced planning, helping families translate estate and tax strategies into decisions they could understand and maintain.

He joined Aurora Ridge to build a planning process in which legal documents, investment policy, cash flow, and family communication are reviewed as parts of one system.

Marcus leads the firm's annual planning cycle and coordinates closely with clients' attorneys and CPAs when decisions cross professional boundaries.
