What is your role at ANTOLINO Wealth Advisors?

I am one of our Advisors, and a Certified Financial Planner®. I am a lead advisor with professionals nearing or in retirement, and I work with a lot of our young professionals with futures brighter than their past that are looking for someone to grow with them as life becomes more complicated. My role as an advisor for the team is to provide excellent service to existing relationships and seek out potential future graduates of The UltraVision System®.

Tell us about yourself and your family.

I was born and raised in northwest Ohio, in Findlay. I attended The Ohio State University, where I met my wife Julie through a mutual friend at a Buckeye football game! We both came from different parts of Ohio to attend Ohio State, and we have never left Columbus since! Julie is a RN, BSN and serves as a primary nurse for head and neck surgical oncologists at The James Cancer Hospital with Ohio State. We currently reside in Westerville, just north of Columbus, with our 1 year old son Everett and our yellow Labrador, Bogey.

Why did you pursue a career in finance?

I loved math growing up, and I always wanted to be financially savvy, so my future family did not have stress when it came to money. My entire career has been in financial services including experience in residential mortgage lending to consumers, and life insurance wholesaling to insurance agents. In these roles the relationships we had were primarily transactional, where we were dependent on closing a deal to get compensated. What I love about our team at ANTOLINO Wealth Advisors is that our best relationships are consultative around every aspect of their financial life. As fiduciaries we are always acting in the best interest of our client, and we are independent which means we can use any company and any solution that we see fit.

What might we catch you doing for fun on the weekend?

You will catch Julie, myself, and Everett taking Bogey on a walk around Uptown Westerville, or one of the many great parks around Central Ohio. Our family has many annual trips/traditions that include Buckeye football road games, Night Under Fire in Norwalk, Hocking Hills, Kelley’s Island, and the Weich Family Pepper Relish outing during the first Browns game. We also love the beach and our favorite place to vacation is Turks and Caicos.
