Professional
After graduating from St. John Fisher College in 2000, I was offered a full-time position as a Financial Representative with Northwestern Mutual. My extensive background in Marketing, Management, and Finance makes this position a great fit. However, it was the opportunity to work one-on-one with clients that really made this my career of choice.
I was introduced to Northwestern Mutual as a college intern and immediately found a strong sense of purpose within this career. In addition to being a full time financial representative since 2000, I was fortunate to be able to try my hand at another passion of mine...baseball. Since 2001, I have played professional baseball for several Major League organizations, most recently playing for the Mariners and Expos farm teams. I even had a chance to play professionally in Europe for 2 seasons and to be named to the Italian Olympic team in 2004. These opportunities exposed me and enabled me to develop a deep sense of work ethic that I am able to implore in my professional life here at Northwestern.

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:
Special Olympics New York
Founder of the Canandaigua Polar Plunge which raises funds for Special Olympics Athletes. Special Olympics NY provides inclusive opportunities for people with intellectual disabilities to discover and unleash the champion within. The athletes experience the thrill of competing in authentic sports. They overcome defeat, taste victory and stay active for life.
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.

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.
