Biography

I'm Matt - the President of Haystack Financial Planning, a Registered Investment Advisory firm in New York. As a financial planner who focuses on the individual with special needs community, I have found the perfect way to merge financial planning with my passion for serving others. I am a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™? professional and fiduciary that operates on a fee-only basis.

I currently live in New York City with my wife and our two sons., We enjoy exploring playgrounds, riding the bus and subway (pre-COVID at least), and searching for cool construction equipment. When not spending time with my family or running Haystack, you may find me walking one of the local golf courses, tapping a beat with my fingers (I'm a recovering drummer), searching for the perfect grilled cheese, or contemplating my next home improvement project despite living in an NYC co-op.
