About Me

As he watched the stock value rise and fall, he became focused on how changes in the economy made an impact on his investment.

After earning his B.A. degree in Psychology from Middlebury College, Todd became a Financial Advisor at Smith Barney, a predecessor firm of Morgan Stanley. Today, as a Producing Branch Manager, Todd splits his time as the lead Financial Advisor for the Wetzel Group and managing a team of 20 financial advisors at Morgan Stanley’s Westborough Branch.

Todd’s passion for helping his clients is equaled only by his dedication to his family and community.
