About Bruce
Bruce brings a wealth of experience and a personal touch to Gateway Financial Partners. After graduating from Pace University with a degree in Accounting, Bruce spent over 20 years in healthcare finance, including his role as Director of Fiscal Services at Gaylord Hospital. This background gave him a solid foundation in financial management and a keen understanding of the complexities people face in managing their finances.
In 2004, Bruce made a life-changing decision to switch to personal financial planning. This move was inspired by his desire to help individuals and families make informed financial decisions and pursue their dreams. He saw firsthand the difference that personalized, professional financial advice could make when helping his own family navigate their finances. This personal connection fuels Bruce’s passion for his work and his dedication to his clients.
Earning the CFP® designation in 2013 was a significant milestone in Bruce’s career, highlighting his commitment to the highest standards of financial planning. As a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® practitioner Bruce adheres to a strict code of ethics and puts his clients’ best interests first.
Today, Bruce primarily serves the communities of North Haven and Wallingford, CT. He combines his extensive financial knowledge with a genuine dedication to his clients’ well-being. Bruce takes the time to understand each client’s unique situation, goals, and concerns, crafting personalized strategies that align with their values and aspirations.
What sets Bruce apart is his approachable and empathetic nature. He believes that financial planning should be accessible and understandable for everyone. Bruce is known for his ability to explain complex financial concepts in a way that is easy to grasp, empowering his clients to make confident decisions about their future.
Outside of work, Bruce enjoys spending time with his family and engaging in his community. His personal philosophy, “We’re not here for a long time, so we should try to have a good time,” reflects his belief in living life to the fullest while making thoughtful, purposeful decisions.
