Everyone wants to ‘live the dream’. Thing is, everyone’s idea of that dream is different. Through conversation, questions and analysis, we help you clearly define your dream so together we can create a working plan to achieve it. Our wealth management process is ongoing, and integrates financial planning and portfolio management, with tax planning carefully woven throughout. Professional Background I joined SAGEbroadview Wealth Management as an associate adviser in 2011 and achieved my CFP® credentials in 2014. In 2016, I became a wealth manager and broadened our ability to serve clients throughout the northeast by opening our Burlington, Massachusetts office to complement our offices in Morristown, NJ and Farmington, CT. In July 2021, I was promoted to Partner. I understand the complexities of a growing career and family because I’m there too! So, in 2019, I kicked off our Young Professionals program, because I wanted to help motivated professionals make well-informed decisions in the early stages of their career through lifelong financial planning and portfolio management, with tax planning carefully woven throughout. I hold a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Bryant University. I am a member of the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors (NAPFA) and am active in NAPFA’s Genesis networking group for supporting professional growth and development among next- generation NAPFA advisors. Personal Background I am a family man at heart. My wife Lindsay and I welcomed our daughter Avery Grace to the world in 2016, and son Landon in 2019; things have never been the same since.
