This episode of The Active Advisor covers: 
Here’s Anthony’s bio in his own words: “I have spent the past 15 years in the financial services industry, which provided me the opportunity to meet hundreds of financial advisors across the country. These interactions helped shape my approach as an advisor. I enjoy collaborating as a team to provide exceptional service while organizing and simplifying our clients’ financial lives. Building lasting client relationships across generations is the most energizing part of my job.”

Prior to joining LPL, Anthony was most recently at Ameriprise, building his own wealth management practice while serving as the branch manager for two large offices in New Hampshire. In addition, he has spent over six years in Texas working for Boston-based Eaton Vance. There he worked alongside financial advisors and their clients, helping to guide them as they constructed comprehensive, individualized portfolios, including tax-efficient investing and managing concentrated stock positions.
