I derive my passion for the financial services industry from my desire to assist and educate others on their journey to financial security and prosperity. Growing up in a large family in Brooklyn, I was exposed to many of the financial hurdles that most Americans encounter on a daily basis; saving for their children's education; saving for, and feeling secure in, retirement; making sure that their families are taken care of in the event they become disabled or pass away; putting together a cash reserve in order to start a business; and ensuring that they can pass on a legacy, built through years of hard work and sacrifice, to the next generation. Working with my clients in order to alleviate these concerns is an incredibly rewarding experience.

I joined Thoroughbred Advisors after beginning my career at Credit Suisse Private Banking in 2014, before moving to Merrill Lynch Wealth Management in 2016, and UBS Financial Services in 2021. During this time, I was afforded the opportunity to learn from some of the most successful and experienced advisory teams in New York City. This background working within elite institutions has allowed me to acquire a diverse array of experiences and knowledge, which I seek to apply to the challenges my clients face in their financial lives.

At Thoroughbred, I employ a thorough, disciplined discovery process, in order to discern my clients' unique financial circumstances and goals. I then use the numerous tools and strategies that Thoroughbred puts at my disposal, to create a holistic financial strategy. I largely work with small business owners, city and state employees, individuals approaching retirement, and their families, as I feel these are the people who I can bring the greatest value to.

I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Industrial Labor Relations and Human Resources Management from Le Moyne College in Syracuse, NY. In my free time, I enjoy lifting weights, watching sports, and am an avid reader, particularly of historic fiction. I am a supporter of the Knicks, Giants, Rangers, Yankees and Ireland Rugby Team. Unfortunately, one challenge I have never been able to overcome is converting my wife from supporting the Red Sox to the Yankees! As a recent transplant to the Capital Region, I am also taking every chance to explore the city of Albany, the areas surrounding it, and all that they have to offer.
