I have been with Northwestern Mutual since 2012. I have been married to my wife since 2014. We are both from the Dutchess County area. I hold a dual role as both a Financial Advisor, and a member of our Poughkeepsie Office leadership team as a Growth & Development Director.

As a Financial Advisor, I work with my clients to develop a personal financial plan, no matter what their goals are. I am a lifelong resident of the Hudson Valley, striving to support my community and the lives of those who contribute to this great place we call home. I will always work hard to develop relationships...
