Biography

As a Financial Consultant at Fidelity Investments, I partner with clients to build financial plans and establish a trusted personal relationship to work toward achieving their goals . Through building and maintaining these strong relationships, I take great pride in being: passionate, responsive, and empathetic to client situations. Outside of work, I enjoy staying active through riding my road bicycle. My wife and I have two children Annabelle and Andrew that keep us busy.

Disclosures are events reported to regulators, such as customer disputes, regulatory actions, employment separations, or financial events. Some are resolved, denied, or contested — a disclosure is not a verdict. We recommend asking an advisor directly about any disclosure on their record.

Disclosures on record.

Disclosures can be potential red flags, including customer disputes, regulatory fines, employer terminations, bankruptcies, judgments, liens, or certain criminal activities. Check for any disclosures as part of your thorough research when choosing an advisor.
