Earl’s vision was to pursue his vision to create a unique wealth management practice to provide customized investment management and financial planning services to assist clients with their financial lives so that they could be as free as possible from the stress and anxiety of managing all of the complex aspects of their wealth and focus and instead of enjoying their lives. Earl’s vision was that it was necessary to gain a thorough understanding of a client’s entire financial situation and their unique goals and only then can effective customized financial advice and investment strategies can be provided, and then must be monitored closely, to adjust for changes in client goals and estate and income tax changes.

Earl is a co-founder (with his deceased wife Maria) of the Innovation in Breast Cancer Fund at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) Cancer Center – founded in 2018. Earl and Maria decided to create the Fund since most insurers won’t cover scalp cooling. 50% of the fund will help to afford its cost and the balance will cover research on how scalp cooling affects patients’ quality of life. Earl has dedicated himself to assisting with the Fund and is extremely passionate about continuing Maria’s work.
