optimizing liquidity, and building lasting legacies.
His approach is grounded in three guiding principles:
• Preserve what you’ve built
• Grow it with discipline

Originally from Southern Rhode Island and now based in South
Boston with his fiancée Madison, Matt brings a personal touch to
his work. He’s deeply committed to building long-term relationships
and helping to guide clients through life’s pivotal financial moments
with clarity, confidence, and care.
Outside of work, Matt enjoys staying active, discovering hidden
gem restaurants around Boston, and spending time with family in
Rhode Island.
Communication is instrumental to managing life's challenges. That's why I work to engage you and your family in the financial decision-making process. Communicating openly with family members on the sometimes-difficult subject of wealth can be a challenge. I can help facilitate these discussions and offer personalized financial strategies designed to educate the younger generation about how assets may be invested.
Bringing fresh perspectives to your financial life
The financial decisions you make today can help determine the future you build for yourself and your family. Carving a clear path forward starts with connecting your life and finances. A Merrill advisor provides access to the investing insights of Merrill and banking capabilities of Bank of America to help you make informed decisions as you pursue your goals.
