Managing Director–Wealth Management
With over four decades in the financial services industry, Tim has built his career on trust, integrity, and exceptional client care—values proven not just in words but in action, reflected in client relationships that span decades, reaching back to his earliest days at EF Hutton in 1983. He learned the business from the ground up and quickly earned a reputation for his relentless work ethic—a commitment that continues to define his practice today.
Tim went on to join PaineWebber in 1990 and later served as Branch Manager of the South Burlington, Vermont office from 1995 to 2001. In 2008, he earned the firm’s Wealth Advisor designation, underscoring his dedication to delivering thoughtful, personalized strategies. A testament to his continued excellence, Tim has been recognized on the Barron’s Top 1,200 Financial Advisors list every year since 2010.
He anticipates client needs, delivers clear strategies, and is fully present throughout each step of their financial journey. Inspired by Vince Lombardi’s words that “the dictionary is the only place where success comes before work,” Tim lives by that philosophy, working each day so his clients can move forward with confidence, protect their wealth, and preserve their legacies for generations to come.
Tim has a long history of community involvement, including his years of support for the Boys & Girls Club. Today, he also enjoys supporting his wife Jodie’s small business, DUET, especially through its partnership with the IDDeal Foundation, which creates meaningful employment opportunities for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Outside of work, Tim and Jodie share a love of travel, golf, and skiing, and they especially cherish time spent with their children and grandchildren.
