As the President and Founder of Integrity Point Advisors, I have dedicated my career to helping individuals and families build secure financial futures. With over a decade of experience in the financial industry, I specialize in guiding pre-retirees through the intricate process of retirement income planning, ensuring their 401(k)s and other investments generate lasting income. My career began after earning a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from William Paterson University. Since then, I've held key positions at leading financial institutions like Merrill Lynch, Citi Personal Wealth Management, and TD Ameritrade, where I managed over $700 million in client relationships. These experiences have equipped me with the knowledge and expertise to create customized financial strategies that adapt to my clients' unique goals, circumstances, and life stages. At Integrity Point Advisors, I act in the capacity of a fiduciary. This means that I am legally and ethically bound to put your interests first-always. Unlike many financial firms, we do not sell any products. Our sole focus is on providing unbiased, tailored advice to help you achieve financial security. I believe in transparency and integrity, ensuring that every decision is made with your best interests at heart. My approach is entirely client-centric. I work closely with each of my clients to craft personalized, flexible financial strategies that evolve as their life and goals change. Whether you're looking to maximize your retirement savings, minimize taxes, or pass on wealth to your heirs, my mission is to ensure that your financial choices align with your personal values and long-term vision. When you partner with me, you're not just getting a financial advisor - you're gaining a trusted advocate who is committed to helping you achieve financial peace of mind without any hidden agendas or conflicts of interest. We break away from the traditional sales-driven model to provide advice rooted in integrity and trust. Outside of work, I live in Kings Park, NY, with my wife Diamantina and our two children, Stelio and Nia. When I'm not working to help clients achieve their financial goals, you can find me playing the guitar or staying active through bodybuilding, biking, running, and hiking. I believe that just like staying physically fit, maintaining financial health requires discipline and a well-structured plan. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you, helping you navigate your financial journey with confidence and clarity.
