Rosefinch Investment Advisors

I am a seasoned financial advisor with over 18 years of experience in helping clients achieve their financial aspirations. My interest in financial planning was inspired by witnessing the effects of the financial crisis on my family. My upbringing, alongside a profoundly disabled brother, instilled in me a deep sense of empathy and a commitment to assisting those in need. These formative experiences have shaped my dedication to guiding individuals through complex financial challenges with precision and care. A graduate of the University at Albany (SUNY), I have built a thriving practice focused on personalized service and innovative solutions. My approach emphasizes risk management, portfolio diversification, and long-term financial security, empowering clients to confidently navigate today's ever-changing financial landscape. I hold several industry licenses and designations, including Series 7, 24, 63, and 66 exams, Licensed Insurance Agent, and Accredited Investment Fiduciary (AIF®).
