Professional Approach

I have been in the financial services business for over 20 years having worked for Sun Life Financial, Guardian, and most recently as a Sales Director for Nationwide before starting Grandview Insurance and Financial Services in 2017.

In my time working for these big corporations I was able to hone my skills through various training programs that would help me prepare for starting GrandView. I was able to build and grow my territory by training and developing new and experienced advisors and insurance agents.

I started GrandView Insurance and Financial Services because of my passion for helping individuals and businesses in the area of retirement and insurance planning.

I was born and raised in Pleasantville, New York. I went to Providence College in Rhode Island and then my career took me to various places throughout the country before moving back to my home state and town of Pleasantville, New York.

I currently live in Pleasantville with my wife, Joanne and our two dogs Ellie and Harley.

In my free time I enjoy playing golf, riding motorcycles, and spending time in the yard with Joanne and the dogs. I am also passionate about doing home improvement projects as well as building different types of furniture.

I am dedicated to developing lasting relationships with all my clients. I believe in helping you assess your financial goals and actively participates in the management of your finances.

One of the benefits of working with me is my ability to provide clear, easily understood explanations of complex insurance and financial products and services. The personalized program that I can provide is a roadmap to working toward a more secure financial future.

I hold my FINRA Series 7, 24, and 66 licenses though LPL Financial as well as my Life and Health license in CT, FL, MA, ME, NC, NJ, NY, OH, PA, and SC. I also hold the APMA® (Accredited Portfolio Management Advisor), CRPC® (Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor) and CLTC® (Certification in Long Term Care) designations.

APMA® and CRPC® conferred by College for Financial Planning.
