His background includes service in the U.S. Army as an Intelligence Analyst, after which he graduated from the State University of New York with a Bachelor’s Degree in history and political science. In addition to his securities registrations, over the years he has earned the designations of Certified Financial Planner (CFP®) and Accredited Investment Fiduciary (AIF®). Ongoing continuing education is required to maintain these designations.
