As a Financial Advisor and Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor, I manage assets for individuals, trusts, retirement and pension plans, and help charitable, religious organizations and businesses. I have over 20 years of experience in corporate retirement plan consulting. Prior to joining Wells Fargo Advisors in 2008, I had a distinguished, nine-year career at one of the nations largest retirement plan providers, Paychex Inc. where I was a retirement plan specialist. Leveraging the robust resources of Wells Fargo Advisors and the depth of experience of our 12 person full-service wealth management team, my mission is to provide planning based, objective financial guidance to help my clients grow and preserve their wealth. I earned a bachelor degree with honors from the State University of New York at Albany. I hold Series 7 and 66 securities registrations and have earned insurance licensing registration in the areas of Long Term Care, Life, Accident and Health Insurance. Importantly, I also earned the Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor (CRPC) and Chartered Retirement Plan Specialist certification (CRPS) by meeting rigorous professional standards and passing comprehensive examinations from the College for Financial Planning.
