Joining the company in 2018 as GCG’s Director of Business Development, Joey is responsible for growing the business through both Financial Advisor recruitment and book acquisition.

On the personal side, Joey grew up a New York sports fan meaning he enjoys rooting for losing teams and does his best to make up for that by volunteering with a local winning middle school baseball team in his spare time. Originally from the Jersey Shore, Joey tries to spend the warmer months near the beach or on a lake.
