As a Registered Investment Advisor and Fiduciary, Matt holds one of the highest levels of responsibility in the financial industry. He is also a Junior Money Manager at Financial Life Planners, where he is honing his skills in market analysis and investment strategies, following in the footsteps of his mother, who has been a market expert for many years.
