Meet your dedicated team
I am proudly from Jamaica, West Indies, where family and community values are central to everything I do. I’m a family man, close with my two sisters and brother, and happily married to my beautiful wife, Yanique. A part of our home is our three beloved cats: Tyke, Luna, and MuMu, who keep us entertained.
We live on Long Island, NY, and are actively involved in our community, attending church together on Saturdays and connecting with those around us. In my free time, I enjoy staying active through calisthenics, swimming, and golf, and I always appreciate a good laugh at comedy shows. These connections and experiences are what fuel my commitment to helping others reach their financial dreams.
Together, our team is here to provide a comprehensive, thoughtful approach that support every phase of your financial journey. We look forward to partnering with you to achieve your goals.
