Personal
I love spending my time with my wife Lauren and our 3 children - Thomas (6), Lily (2) and our newest addition - baby James! We also enjoy the antics of our 2 cats and hound dog, Bear. We are lucky to have our extended families close by and enjoy having family dinners and gatherings as often as possible. We spend a few weeks each summer at the beach in Maine and also love heading down to Westerly, RI for beach time as well. I enjoy coaching my son in soccer and generally love any opportunity to get outside with the kids.
Professional
I began my career as a Financial Advisor because of my passion for finance and helping others. I grew up in Millbury, MA and have spent my life learning as much as I can. I am a career changer and have spent time as a Naval Intelligence Officer during Operation Iraqi Freedom, as well as various management roles in Fortune 100 companies. I have also started and owned a franchise business. These diverse roles have helped me gain a lot of insight into how people make decisions that affect their entire lives. Along the way, I earned an MBA from Indiana University's Kelley School of Business, a Master of Science from Boston University, attained the Project Management Professional certification and the Certified Life Underwriter financial designation.
Lending a hand in my community.
As part of Northwestern Mutual, I'm proud to help accelerate the search for better childhood cancer treatments while supporting families undergoing treatment, and survivors from late effects. Here are some of the organizations we partner with:
Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer (ALSF)
ALSF funds cancer research, raises awareness, and supports the families of children with cancer. Since 2012, Northwestern Mutual, its employees, and financial professionals like me have donated more than $20 million to support ALSF and fund over 400,000 research hours.
Beads of Courage
Beads of Courage is an art-in-medicine program that helps kids with cancer tell their unique treatment story through colorful beads that are symbols of their courage.
How Northwestern Mutual helps you live the life you want.
When people feel better about their money, good things happen—they become more confident and feel more secure. For more than 160 years, Northwestern Mutual has helped people achieve the financial flexibility they need to live more and worry less.
Being a mutual company means Northwestern Mutual reports to its clients, not Wall Street. They don't believe in chasing fads or taking undue risk for short-term gains. Instead, they take a long-term approach—both in the way we help people plan to reach their goals, and in the way they do business. This has served their clients (and mine) well through all kinds of economic ups and downs, including wars, recessions, even the recent pandemic.
It's why I'm happy to be part of a company that's in it for the long-haul and prioritizes clients over profit.
