Welcome to our website!

Our Mission

Together, we are a team dedicated to helping individuals and families build their financial futures and plan for their retirement. Focused attention, service and commitment to our clients has been the cornerstone of our practice for over 20 years. Adhering to these principals has allowed us to work mainly on a referral basis, and provide our clients the level of service and professional advice they deserve. Our objective is to develop a long-term relationship with our clients so that we are their most trusted financial professionals now and in the years to come.

Our Approach

Our first step in creating a sound financial plan starts with the question "What is important to you in life?" Our job as your financial professionals is to work with you to facilitate a plan to achieve your goals. As life occurrences arise, needs and goals are likely to change. Therefore, monitoring our clients’ plan and strategies through annual reviews and consistent service is the most important piece to achieving their financial future. We take pride in building relationships with our clients both professionally and personally.

Our Background

We both received B.S. degrees from Canisius College, Buffalo, NY in 1985. We have continued to enhance our professional education with Lynda graduating from Rochester Institute of Technology in 1992 with a Masters Degree and Gregg completing his Chartered Life Underwriter (CLU) professional designation through the American College in 1996. Most recently, in February 2008, Lynda received a Certificate in Retirement Planning from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.

As for our personal life, we have been married for over 20 years and live with our four children in Clarence, New York. We are active in community organizations including Nativity of Mary Church & School where we coach basketball and track.

HOT TOPIC: Inflation Slows But Still Poses Long-Term Threat

After a year in which energy prices hit record levels, most consumers will be surprised to learn that the 2008 inflation rate was almost zero. But don't be fooled into thinking that inflation is no longer a threat to your long-term financial outlook.

Inflation Goes to College

Over the past 10 years, tuition and fees have grown more than 4% faster than the rate of general inflation at public four-year colleges and more than 2% faster than inflation at private four-year colleges.

Variables You Can Count On

One way to pursue gains in the stock market while also limiting downside risks is through the use of living benefit guarantees that are offered with some variable annuities (for an additional cost).

Stalking the Mighty Consumer
