My Qualifications
I am currently an Investment Adviser Representative with Cetera Wealth Services LLC. I am also licensed in the state of Pennsylvania to sell life, accident, and health insurance.
I became affiliated with Washington Square Securities, Inc. ("WSSI"), a member of the ING Advisors Network, in April of 2003. In January of 2004, WSSI merged with Locust Street Securities, Inc. ("LSSI") to become ING Financial Partners, Inc. ING Financial Partners underwent a rebranding to Voya Financial Advisors, Inc. on September 1, 2014. Cetera Advisor Networks acquired Voya Financial Advisors in June of 2021. And in late 2025, we rebranded ourselves to Cetera Wealth Partners.
Previously, I served as an Agency Director for the Boston South Financial Group, an office of MetLife Financial Services ("MetLife"). Prior to MetLife, I was employed by American Express Financial Advisors, Inc., as a personal financial planner and then as a district manager.

I was born in Philadelphia, PA. I have two younger brothers and a sister, all of whom still reside in the Philadelphia area.
I am a "Double Hawk" having graduated from both St. Joe's Prep and University. While at both schools, I enjoyed playing the drums for the various theatrical performances and bands, including the SJU Basketball Pep Band, of which I was a founding member.
I moved to Boston to attend New England School of Law ("NESL"). I earned a Juris Doctor degree from NESL. My late wife, Ilene, and I met while attending NESL. I resided in Massachusetts, then moved back to Pennsylvania to be closer to my family.
I presently reside in Lansdale, PA, with my two sons, T.J. and Ethan. I enjoy traveling with my family, spending time outdoors, playing cards, and attending local sporting, concert, and theatrical events. I still love playing drums in local bands and community theaters.
