A Letter From Tom
After graduating from college, I worked for a large Pittsburgh bank as a computer programmer when I quickly realized I wanted a profession where I could build relationships with people and help them improve their lives. After networking with a group of professionals from a premier financial planning organization, I made a complete career change and began my journey as a financial advisor. Although it was not an easy career path, I relished the opportunity to control my own destiny in a business that favors an entrepreneurial spirit.
Over three decades later, I look back with great satisfaction. My career has blessed me with wonderful friendships I have been able to build, maintain and enjoy through all these years. I feel privileged so many people have allowed me to share their private and personal lives. And it’s immensely rewarding to have a positive impact on them and also on their families. We’ve worked together to educate their children, insure their lives to protect loved ones, plan for future retirements, help retirement dreams come true, and help those left after the loss of a family member. Our dedicated and motivated team has prioritized knowing each one of our clients and our clients' families and looks forward to connecting with them regularly.
