You Trained for Years to Compete at a High Level. What If Your Next Career Called for the Same Drive?

Former athletes know what it takes to show up every day, push through setbacks, and compete to win — and those same qualities make for exceptional financial advisors. Whether you're a former college athlete, a retired pro, or simply someone who's always brought a competitor's mindset to everything you do, you'll find a supportive environment here dedicated to helping you grow professionally and personally.

Our Mission

Our mission is to build enduring relationships that inspire financial security. We take a holistic approach to insurance and investments to provide comprehensive financial planning, backed by a best-in-class advisor support platform and an experienced advisor mentorship program.

We're proud to support local organizations including Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation, The Children's Home of Poughkeepsie, and the Poughkeepsie Foodbank.

Why Former Athletes Thrive Here

The discipline, resilience, and competitive drive you built through sports translate directly into a career in financial services. What matters here isn't your playbook — it's your ability to set goals and chase them, bounce back from a loss, build real relationships, and outwork the competition. Two of our own leaders came up through athletics: James Wong played baseball from Little League through the collegiate and professional level before coaching youth sports, and William Brammer captained his high school football team and went on to coach wrestling and multiple junior athletic programs. Their competitive backgrounds shaped how they lead today.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Learning the business through hands-on training and mentorship
• Working toward your required professional licenses
• Collaborating with a team of professionals, several of whom came from athletic backgrounds themselves
• Building your own client relationships and practice, with resources and guidance along the way
• Shaping a business around your goals, strengths, and network — with entrepreneurial flexibility

This Opportunity May Be a Strong Fit If You:

• Bring the same drive and discipline from athletics to your next career
• Are motivated by performance and personal growth
• Wanting greater ownership over your career
• Desire to build a long-term professional practice rather than simply fill a job

What You'll Need:

• A 4-year college degree (required)
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills
• Willingness to complete our Culture Index assessment as part of the interview process

Compensation & Growth:

Performance-based compensation with uncapped earning potential — your effort determines your results, just like it always has.
