- How long have you been in the financial services industry?
I’ve been working in financial services for the past 11 years, both in an advisory capacity and also working with other advisors to help them with their practices. Prior to that I spent 14 years in the security alarm industry, primarily in mergers and acquisitions.
- What is something you are passionate about outside of work?
I would say my family and sports are my two main passions outside of work (my family will debate the order 😉). Many times, those passions overlap as I’ve been a youth sports coach for all our kids, both at the recreational and travel level. I love to play golf and watch the Giants, Yankees, and Knicks depending on the season.
- What is your favorite way to spend the weekend?
A perfect weekend for me would involve a great dinner out with my wife and our friends, some time spent watching and coaching our kids play sports, and hopefully a round of golf.
- Where is your favorite place to travel?
We’ve been blessed to take some amazing trips, but my favorite spot is Harwich Port in Cape Cod. Our family and extended family has spent a week every July there for the past 20+ years, and it is always one of the best weeks of the year for our family.
- What is the best piece of advice someone gave you?
That you have to get outside your comfort zone, that is where the magic happens! Try something new, say yes more, make yourself uncomfortable from time to time and see what happens. Most of the time you won’t regret it. We usually look back on life and regret the things we didn’t do, not the things we do.
