I’m a forestry graduate and lifelong lover of the outdoors, and I discovered financial planning almost by accident — or perhaps it found me. I was recruited into the industry by a seasoned professional who happened to be a fellow alumnus of the forestry school, and I quickly realized that helping people plan for their financial future was both meaningful and rewarding.

At Pauli Financial Group, I provide a wide range of services, including risk management, financial planning, and retirement income planning. What I enjoy most is working closely with individuals and families to help them prepare for the future with confidence. I believe financial planning is an educational process, and I strive to make complex concepts approachable and understandable. Many people initially feel uncertain about financial services, but once they see how thoughtful planning can create independence, preserve dignity, and leave a lasting legacy after life-changing events, they often become strong advocates themselves.

I earned my degree from the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry and later obtained the CHARTERED FINANCIAL CONSULTANT (ChFC®) designation through the The American College of Financial Services.

Outside of work, I remain deeply connected to nature and spend as much time outdoors as possible. I enjoy kayaking, biking, camping, and hiking with my wife, Rhonda. We also love to travel and cherish opportunities to visit our children and grandchildren whenever we can.
