About this speaker
I have always valued the power of a good story. My father and grandfather before him could hold a room of thirty people in the palm of their hand with no problem. This stuck with me.
Growing up outside of Boston, sports were always a central character for me and my family. Brady and Ortiz were as important of names as Obama and Gates in my house. So, after a football and lacrosse career took me to college in upstate New York, I retired and returned to my passion for story to begin a career as a filmmaker.
For almost a decade, I have worked in entertainment as a director, writer, and producer. Beginning in branded content, I produced for brands like United Health Ventures and Nickelodeon before moving into commercials and eventually television; selling tv projects to HGTV and Mark Cuban's AXS TV.
That sales experience combined with producing weight-loss projects (behavioral psychology), and my own personal finance struggles, I developed a desire to create a better financial wellness solution.
Then, when my brother passed away in 2022, I decided to leave Los Angeles to be closer to family. Not only that, I gave myself permission to go for it and start building Baseline. And this is where I meet you.
