My journey to becoming a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ began with a question – “How well do we direct our lives based on goals and values?” This was a question posed to me while enrolled in Columbia Business School’s Personal Leadership program and led me to uncover my “why”: do impactful work that makes a difference in peoples’ lives, while leading by example to give my children the courage to pursue their own dreams. This culminated in my founding of TATRA Wealth.I combined my passion for finance and personal development to help others gain clarity on their goals and use money as a tool to achieve their vision of a life well-lived. As a former college football player, I believe in the importance of a collaborative, team-based approach. I draw on my 15 years of financial services experience to build and implement values-based plans for individuals and families that aim to provide peace of mind. My extensive experience working in investment banking and corporate strategy enables me to share a unique business perspective with entrepreneurs to maximize the potential of their most valuable asset.Outside of work, my wife, Nicole and I reside in Ramsey, NJ with our two sons (Luke and John) and daughter (Natalie). Beyond spending time with family, I enjoy anything that gets me outdoors, including golfing, hiking, and biking. I also serve as a member of the Board of Trustees for St. Nicholas of Myra Orthodox Church in New York City, a parish that my family founded over 100 years ago.Investment advice offered through Integrated Partners, doing business as TATRA Wealth Management, a registered investment advisor.
