Matt is a Managing Director and Private Wealth Advisor at Sunpointe Investments. He helps clients create, align, and manage their financial plans and investment strategies. Prior to joining Sunpointe, Matt worked at Bank of America Merrill Lynch as a Senior Financial Advisor, Portfolio Manager, and First Vice President. Across 16 years and multiple roles, he’s gained a deep perspective on how individuals, businesses, and non-profits can plan and invest in their future.

Matt’s talent-turned-skill is engaging people on their level. In his words, "Finance may be complex, but it doesn’t have to be complicated. Whether it’s a single person alone, a big family, a corporation, a non-profit, or any other entity - it always starts by connecting with people first. And people have stories about where they are now, where they’ve been, and where they’re going. It’s our job to listen, apply the math of financial planning and investment management, and then figure out, together, how to keep them moving forward strategically."
