Work Experience
  • Gary was a National Sales Manager of a Privately owned Specialty Paint Manufacturer for 18 years when he found out it was going to be sold and he couldn't develop a way to buy it from the previous owners. Rather than stay in the paint business, he decided to join Merrill Lynch in an executive training program to become a broker. In December of 2008, Merrill Lynch sold off their Brokerage business and Gary was laid off since he was still in training. He obtained his licenses and started working for Thrivent Financial in spring of 2009. After 3 years, he joined New England Securities to enable him to offer all insurance and brokerage products rather than proprietary Thrivent insurance and annuity products. From 2011 to 2018 Gary worked for the same firm which changed clearing companies 3 times in 4 years. The names changed from New England Securities, to Metlife Premier Client Group to Mass Mutual. Mass Mutual was very insurance focused and Gary wanted to work for a Fiduciary Investment Advisory firm. He went to Peak Wealth Solutions in 2018. He acquired his CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER designation and managed over 70 Million in assets. Gary became remarried and had a child. In 2024, Gary joined Stratos Wealth Partners to work with a team , existing clients and support markets close to his home.
