Andrew has been a public school teacher for almost 2 decades. His life's passion is helping students with special needs navigate and excel social-emotionally, functionally, as well as academically. Andrew has and still works closely with staff and families to put a plan in place that allows for growth and independence in the students he serves. He was drawn to the financial sector when he realized how few of his fellow teachers understood, and were taking positive steps to insure their financial futures. Through various financial concepts and learned knowledge about various products and vehicles available in the marketplace, Andrew is collaborating with families and businesses to bring financial literacy and to tailor a specific plan towards the family's or business' goals, so as to bring about financial security and independence for their retirement future.
