    Prior to becoming a Financial Advisor, Keith was a professional photographer. Photography allowed him to finance his college education. He graduated from Monmouth University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology. He believes that applying his creativity to the groups financial planning process helps differentiate us as a wealth management team.

    Keith currently resides in Holmdel, NJ with his wife Judy. He has three children, Daniel, Kimberly and Dylan and two grandchildren, Freddie and Luke. He is still very passionate about photography, enjoys a good round of golf and spending time with his family.
