About me
A native of Syracuse, NY, Mark graduated Summa Cum Laude from St. John Fisher College in 2006 with his Bachelors of Science in both Personal and Corporate Finance. Mark started with Northwestern Mutual as a college intern during his senior year, and upon graduating, transitioned into a full-time Financial Representative to continue to develop his career. In addition to running a personal practice and serving his clients, Mark has had the opportunities to lead and develop the college internship program as the College Unit Director, mentor and inspire future Financial Advisors as a Field Director and in May of 2013 he was appointed to Managing Director.
Mark chose this career because of the unlimited potential to have both positive and purposeful impact in the lives of his clients and on the communities that he serves. It is his mission to empower all people to achieve their true potential.
Mark is married to Andrea and they live in Amherst, NY. Outside of work Mark enjoys working out as well as playing golf and lacrosse. Mark serves on the Executive Board for the Eric Wood Foundation and is actively involved with Hearts for ALS, The Maine Cancer Foundation and Alex’s Lemonade Stand.
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.
Getzville Fire Company
I am proud to serve our community with the Getzville Fire Company as a volunteer firefighter.
Hearts for ALS NY
The mission of Hearts for ALS NY is to act as a resource for patients and caregiver, and increase awareness & understanding of ALS through volunteer services to improve the quality of life for our PALS.
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.
