About

Andrew is a Vice President, Wealth Advisor at NewEdge Wealth in Stamford, CT, where he partners with ultra-high-net-worth families to navigate the complexities of multi-generational wealth. His work spans estate planning, wealth transfer, financial planning, philanthropy, risk management, business succession, next-generation education, and family meeting facilitation — helping clients turn complex financial decisions into clear, actionable strategies. Over nearly five years at NewEdge Wealth, Andrew has built a reputation for combining technical expertise with a genuine, relationship-first approach. He believes the strongest wealth plans are built on a deep understanding of a family's goals and values — not just their financial statements.

Andrew graduated from Skidmore College with a B.S. in Business, where he served as varsity baseball team captain, was a three-time recipient of the Thoroughbred Society award and was named to the Liberty League All-Academic Team in 2020 and 2021. He lives in New Canaan, CT, with his family and spends his free time golfing, skiing, and staying active in the local community.
