Family & Hobbies

John is a proud “Westsider” in Binghamton, New York. John’s hobbies include journaling, birding in the nature preserve, literary research, and playing exceedingly complicated board games with his friends.

Education & Experience

John earned two four-year degrees at Binghamton University, double majoring in economics and English literature. He also completed a master’s degree in English, expanding his knowledge base with classes on teaching. Before Faithward, John worked in risk management and regulatory affairs at Citi HQ in downtown Manhattan. Looking for a way to combine his financial knowledge and his teaching skills in an organization where he could make a positive impact on people’s lives, John found himself at Faithward Advisors.

Community Involvement

John participates heavily in his local church community, organizing a weekly Bible study, sparring and training with others in Taekwondo class, and teaching high schoolers in Christian Education class on Sundays. John also regularly volunteers for CHOW foodbank and connected food pantries in Broome County.

Why I like working at Faithward Advisors …

John cherishes his amazingly talented and fun-loving team at Faithward, especially the sense of belonging and genuine care they give to every client and team member.
