Paul learned early in life the importance of families working together when his father died at age 53. Paul was 19 and he, his mother, and sister had to pull together with limited financial resources. This early life lesson led him to a degree in Economics from Queens College and an MBA in Finance from St. John's University. He then started his career in the financial services industry. In 1997, after working in banking for more than 20 years, he obtained his Certified Financial Planner designation.

Paul's passion for assisting others achieve their financial goals was a natural progression for him as his experience with his family helps him understand the needs of families and aids in recommending appropriate financial solutions. Paul married his banking experience with his financial planning skills to provide a wide range of financial services including lending, investment solutions, college, retirement, insurance and estate planning.

Paul loves the challenge of helping families determine their goals and providing a plan to achieve them. He now has his own family having married Carmen in 1984 and welcoming his son, Andrew, in 1993. Paul resides in Wyckoff where he is very active with various charities including Gift of Life in which children from all parts of the world are brought to the United States for life saving heart surgery.
