I have over 20 years of experience in how financial markets work …and sometimes fail. I recognized a need for personalized and unbiased advice for the average person’s financial planning and investment decisions that does not require an ongoing obligation, unless the client so chooses. That’s why I have built a firm that does not sell any products other than my advice and makes sure that you always know how much you are paying and what you are getting in return. I have made some atypical choices in starting Grand Central Financial Planning with the goal of providing clients a high level of service at a reasonable price. In addition to being an Advice-Only Financial Planner, in my spare time I am the founder of the non-profit Long Island City Youth Sports League (LICYSL.org) and write the local blog in Long Island City, LICtalk.
