Experience

1. Financial Advisor

   Northwestern Mutual

   Jan 1992 — Present · Westport, CT, US

   I firmly believe that personal finances are just that – personal. Like so many things in life, there\'s no one-size-fits-all solution for financial advising. I\'ve found that the key to success lies in understanding each client\'s individual circumstances, goals, and concerns. I pride myself on creating an environment where each client can be themselves, free from judgment or undue pressure.My approach is simple: I meet you where you are. Whether you\'re a seasoned investor or just starting to think about your future, I\'m here to educate and advocate for you. My team and I break down complex concepts into approachable steps, ensuring you always have the information you need to make informed decisions.Working with Northwestern Mutual has expanded my network to include the best of the best. NM represents unparalleled stability and an unwavering commitment to doing right by our policyholders. Integrity doesn’t mean being infallible. It\'s about surrounding ourselves with the right people. I\'m a natural connector – I love referring people and businesses in my network to enhance facets of their personal and professional lives. Part of my work involves collaborations with other financial professionals. In each instance, I carefully assess which colleague would be the best fit for your needs. You can think of me as a money matchmaker, ensuring that every one of my clients receives the most suitable expertise and support.My process involves listening carefully to understand your values and priorities, empathizing with their situations, and helping them craft a tangible vision. Whether it\'s retirement planning, insurance strategies, or other financial goals, I remain your long-term partner.Whether you have a specific question or just want to explore your options, I\'m all ears. If you’re ready to take the first step towards a more secure financial future, let’s have a conversation.(203) 8••••••••@nm.com
