“To me, wealth management isn’t just about numbers; it’s about people and their aspirations, their challenges, and their heartaches. I’ve had the privilege of being my clients’ partner through it all. Seeing them build secure futures, pursue passions, and navigate life’s changes—that’s what truly matters. But I’m pretty good at the numbers, too.”

Stu’s holistic approach comes from serving the North Shore community for decades, putting clients first and caring about the wellbeing of every business owner, caregiver, and retiree who walks through his door.

As a registered investment advisor representative with LPL Financial, Stu is a fiduciary with his advisory clients first and foremost, always acting in his clients’ best interest, helping them reach their goals with a personalized plan. He uses the latest technology to provide clients with private portals for secure transactions and up-to-date financial reports, so they can stay apprised of portfolio performance, budget tracking, and goal targeting.

Stu sees the bigger picture and collaborates with his clients’ other advisors—insurance, mortgage, legal, and banking—to create a seamless financial outlook for his clients, their business, and their family.

He serves on the Anna Jaques Hospital Finance Committee and enjoys contributing to an invaluable organization and supporting all that it does for the community. He has lived in Newburyport for almost 20 years and originally hails from Swampscott, MA. Skiing, golfing, hiking, and cheering on the WSU Huskies is how he spends his free time outside of work. He calls the South End home with his wife, Kristine, two daughters, and furry companion, Coco.
