I grew up in Duxbury, Massachusetts, a small beach town on the South Shore, located 45 minutes south of Boston and 30 minutes north of Cape Cod. My parents raised me, my two brothers, and my sister. My mom was fortunate enough to be a stay-at-home mom, dedicating her life to raising four children, while my dad worked as a successful businessman to provide for us.
My siblings and I went everywhere with my mom. We could be in the grocery store and my mom would chat with strangers as if she had known them her whole life. Her friendly and personable nature always shone through, making everyone feel important.
Sports have always played an important part in my life. Football, baseball, and basketball significantly shaped me into the person I am today. I can honestly say my parents never missed a single one of my games. Having that type of support meant more to me than I could ever comprehend.
While both of my parents influenced my character and supported all my endeavors, my mother greatly impacted my relationship with Christ. She was the backbone of our family, embodying a faith so strong that, to me, she was like Mother Teresa. During my junior and senior years of high school, my parents opened our home to host a “Huddle” every Monday for the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA). My mom prepared dinner for everyone each week and had the opportunity to share God’s Word. Initially, we had only five attendees, but by the time I graduated, our Bible study group had grown to over 30 members.
My mother taught me a lot. She showed me how to be a good and caring person, to think of others before myself, to be a leader, and how to love. In 2020, after a three-year battle with cancer, I lost my mother. It is difficult to lose someone, but losing someone like my mother made it even harder. I’m proud to say that her qualities live on through me today, and I am a better dad to my two children because of her.
In 2021, Jason, who is married to my cousin Megan, offered me a job in Business Development at Aspire Wealth Group, prompting my move to Pennsylvania. Today, my role on the team involves community engagement, planning events, and developing new business. In this role, I want people to see that I genuinely care about their success, and I am always eager to help them in any way I can.
At Aspire Wealth Group, our entire team shares this passion for helping our clients. We genuinely care about their well-being and are dedicated to supporting their financial success. Together, we strive to build lasting relationships and make a positive impact on the lives of those we serve.
