Owner and Co-Founder of ProWealth
Passion and purpose.
I grew up in Massachusetts and continue to reside here now with my beautiful wife, Alyssa, and our amazing one-year-old son, Nicholas. My fascination and passion for economics and finance began in my freshman year at St. John's Prep High School and continued to grow throughout my college years at Bentley University, where I majored in Economics and Finance. My interest and education in the industry helped me jump start a career in financial services beginning back in 2009. Over the years, with the help of my team, we have grown into a full-fledged financial services practice helping clients achieve better lives through better money decisions. Outside of financial services, here are some personal and fun facts about me:
At ProWealth, my specific focus is helping physicians, business owners, and executives clarify and achieve their ideal lifestyles, both now and in retirement, through ongoing financial guidance. Please feel more than welcome to reach out with any questions about your financial situation and goals, or if you prefer, to schedule a complimentary introductory call. It all starts with a conversation!
