Focus and experience

From setting up college savings plans for babies, guiding young adults on how it makes sense to begin saving early, helping successful seniors feel confident about their retirement and ultimately helping to ensure a legacy is transferred the way our clients wish, Tom and his team are committed to helping clients reach their goals. Tom has had the privilege of assisting many families over the past 20 years.

Background and credentials

Tom's interest in the stock market began October 19th 1987 otherwise called Black Monday. Being fifteen years old listening to the radio during that major market crash triggered a lifelong interest in the stock market. Tom and his team have been able to build an extremely successful practice and have achieved the title of Managing Director-Investments of Wells Fargo Advisors. He was recognized from 2015-2022 on the Wells Fargo Advisor’s Platinum Council.

Away from the office

Tom believes in giving back to his community. He has served as a board chair, board member and trustee of the United Way of Dubuque Area Tri-States, volunteered as a Dubuque Chamber of Commerce Ambassador where he helped with ribbon cuttings and promoting business in the Tri-State area and was a long time member of the Dubuque Rotary Club, where he has served as a board member.

The Platinum Council (Previously known as Premier Advisor) distinction is held by a select group of Financial Advisors as measured by completion of educational components, business production based on the past year, and professionalism. Additional criteria, best practices and team structure, may also be used to determine recipients.
