I grew up in the small Connecticut town of Canterbury with my mother, father, and brother. I attended Norwich Free Academy where I was very active playing football. After graduating from the academy, I attended Eastern Connecticut State University where with a focus on Mathematics. While attending college I was active in my community coaching youth football. Something I continue to do to this day.

I still live in Connecticut. I live in Griswold with my amazing wife Jen and two crazy boys Matthew (age 7) and Michael (age 4). When I’m not working, I’m driving them to football, baseball, or basketball practice. My oldest son, Matthew, loves football, and the town nudged me back into coaching his team — the Griswold Wolverines. They didn’t have to push too hard.

My professional career began in 2007 when I did an internship for Barnum Financial Group, where my brother Ben was currently excelling in his career. It was during this time; I knew this was where I wanted to focus my energy.

I love what I do. I get an amazing feeling from the interactions with our clients and seeing them light up when we show them, they can retire, send their kids to school, or give gifts to their grandchildren. The unique part of this career is that something different occurs each day.

Our team does not give the same cookie cutter advice to our client. It’s a personalized message that matches their goals, dreams, and aspirations. Each client is different in their own unique way, that’s why it’s so important that we provide unparalleled advice and guidance.

I look forward to continuing my career and spending as much time as I can influencing clients so they can be on a better pathway to achieve all their goals. Then, every other second in the day, I spend with my family and friends, trying to live life to the fullest.

I can’t wait to see what’s next!
