Our Qualifications

Since 1971, I have been successfully providing sound financial advice and superior insurance service to clients. I am the president/founder of the firm, New England Consulting Group of Guilford, Inc., where I  assist clients in estate, financial and business succession planning, as well as Medicaid planning for retirees. I also provide investments, life insurance, and employee health benefits and pension plans.

In discussing my work philosophy in dealing with my clients, I speak with sincerity:
“I help other people accumulate wealth. I establish long-term relationships with every client, and I strive to be the best at what I do. My passion is to  communicate the financial traps and blindspots, that have a major impact (traps many of which you may  not be aware of but have a major impact on you, your family  and your business).  I help you discover solutions and techniques that will make a significant difference in your desire for financial security.” It is through persistent effort and a reputation for outstanding service that I have built a solid base of satisfied clients who wouldn’t hesitate to recommend my firm.
