With 25 years of experience in financial services, my mission is to provide every client with targeted, comprehensive financial advice and portfolio management delivered with the highest level of personal service and professional integrity.

As a member of The Hamlet Group, I provide complete customized financial solutions for individuals, endowments, institutions and corporations based on their unique individual situation.  My approach to providing financial solutions is long term, consultative, and objectives.  Over the course of 25 years, I’ve learned that there is no typical client.  That everyone is unique.  But there are several common threads that seem to run through our clients, including uniquely successful individuals, families and corporate entities.  Another common thread for my clients is that they are saving for, and or approaching retirement, concerned about their children, taxes and are often too busy to handle the details and direction of their investments.

I began my financial services career at Merrill Lynch from 1999 to 2005.  Then, I joined Morgan Stanley from 2005 to 2011.  And in 2011, moved to Wells Fargo Advisors.  I have a bachelor’s degree in communications from Syracuse University and a Juris Doctor degree for Syracuse University College of Law. I hold the following registrations including Series 7, 66 and 31 and I am Life and Health insurance licensed.

With my free time, I like to read, hang out on the beach and work out at the gym.  I am engaged in philanthropy as the President of The Laura Rosenberg Foundation, a 501 (c) 3 organization that raises funds for pediatric programs including Sunrise Association, Happiness Is Camping, The Morgan Center, and SIBS Place and research at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.

I am residing with my wife, Rachel and three daughters, Ali, Amanda and Sage in Woodbury, New York.
