Alan is currently the lead advisor on a 7-member team managing over $360 million in client assets as of 12/29/2023. Over his 35-year career, Alan has been privileged to have worked at many of the elite brokerage firms. His career started in college, where he worked for Smith Barney at its Park Avenue office. Upon graduation from Pace University in Westchester NY, Alan took a job with a boutique firm Kidder Peabody. After 5 years Alan would move to the Wall Street titans Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley. He hit his stride, however, at Wells Fargo Advisors, is where he assembled his present team. During that period, he was a regular on the Platinum Council (top 10% of advisors at the firm) in 2019, 2021, 2022 and 2023. Most recently, his team was awarded Best in State Wealth Management Teams in both 2023 and 2024, by the prestigious Forbes magazine. When the opportunity arose, Alan and his team moved into Wells Fargo’s independent brokerage unit, Wells Fargo Advisors Financial Network. There he was reunited with long time Merrill Lynch colleague, Dennis Hall, Partner/Portfolio Manager, of Florham Park Wealth Advisors Financial Network.
Outside of business, Alan and his wife, Sandra, live in Little Falls, with their Maltese, Lucia, and their singer/songwriter daughter, Alexandra. When Alan is not reviewing client portfolios, you can find him at the gym, as he is an avid weight trainer. Alan also enjoys music and fine dining. Alan and his team are excited about the next chapter of our story owning our own practice.
