Always a take charge person, Steve enlisted in the Unites States Marine Corp after graduating High School. Subsequent to his service, Steve worked his way through undergraduate and graduate school.

During a successful career at the Bell System, Steve realized his goals were more in tune with the entrepreneurial spirit of the financial services industry. In 1998, Steve founded the Daugherty Group at Morgan Stanley and moved the group to UBS Financial Services in 2007 to take advantage of UBS's focus on delivering comprehensive wealth management solutions to clients.

Today at UBS, Steve and his team provide strategic financial planning, critical retirement income planning and investment management for entrepreneurs, executives, successful professionals and their families. One of Steve's top priorities in his practice is to help clients build an investment strategy designed to maintain rising income and purchasing power so they can retire comfortably and independently. He is committed to helping families save and invest for their children's and grandchildren's education.

Steve believes strongly in his investment philosophy and the strategies that he recommends to his clients. Every investment is carefully selected to follow the directions of a well-designed comprehensive financial plan.
