John's Story
Life
Joined the Army right out of high school as an Infantryman. Was stationed in Fort Drum, NY however I spent very little of my time there.

I decided to go with a Regional Based Firm (Janney Montgomery Scott,LLC.) because of there family oriented atmosphere. I have been with Janney for over 6 years now working as a Financial Consultant in the suburbs of Philadelphia. My job entails helping companies set up retirement plans such as 401K's or SIMPLE IRA's and helping individuals plan for there retirements as well as wealth management. It's a fast paced job, and I love every minute of it.
