My parents afforded my brother and I the best of everything growing up: vacations, numerous milestone parties, top tier college educations, et al. In fact, to this day, they still try their best to make sure not only my brother and I, but also their grandchildren, have whatever their little hearts desire. However, as I grew older, I realized that what they were doing for us was literally at their
expense. They chose their present goals over their future goals. They did not have anyone to partner with to help them prioritize what was most important and develop a plan to achieve those goals. It is for this reason, that I chose to become a financial advisor. The ability to sit with individuals and families and discuss what keeps them up at night and what is most important to them in order to help them develop a plan to achieve both their present and future goals is extremely rewarding; not to mention it is a way to pay forward my parents. I help my clients by listening to their needs and wants, and then educating them, advising them, and partnering with them to put financial strategies in place and ensure they execute on those strategies. I am born and raised in Bergen County, and have resided in Oradell for the past 8 years with my lovely wife Lana, two adorable children, Thomas, and Sienna; and the first "baby", our boxer-pitbull mix, Georgia. We enjoy spending time together as a family, and Lana and I try to be very active in our children's lives.
