Joe began his financial services career in 1980 as a trainee with Smith, Barney, Harris, Upham Inc. In early 1986, Joe accepted a position with Drexel Burnham Lambert in Jenkintown, PA. While at Drexel, he began to focus his efforts on the fee-based advisory business because he felt that the presence of commissions presented a conflict of interest between his goals and those of his clients. Long before fee-based advisory accounts were the norm in the investment business, Joe embraced the transparency and fairness of the approach that placed the objectives of the client as the focus of the relationship and rewarded the advisor for bringing value instead of selling products.

Drexel Burnham was acquired by Prudential Securities in the fall of 1986, and Joe continued building his fee-based advisory business and continued to hone his skills as a portfolio manager. He was promoted to Assistant Branch Manager of the Jenkintown branch, and in 1994 was named Branch Manager of the Princeton, NJ branch of Prudential Securities.

After graduating from LaSalle College High School in Philadelphia, Joe earned his bachelor’s degree in Economics at St. Anselm College in New Hampshire. He and his wife Donna live in Buckingham, Pennsylvania, and are the proud parents of three daughters. Joe is an avid golfer and a lifelong fan of Philadelphia’s Eagles and Flyers.
