GARY D'ALESSIO

Gary D’Alessio has been a police officer for quite some time.  A couple of years ago, as D’Alessio approached the halfway point of his career, he began to contemplate several things, including his future retirement. He realized that there was one major problem: When it came to financial planning, investing, and the intricate rules of the New Jersey public pension systems, his co-workers were typically uneducated on these topics and unaware of the pitfalls in retirement. This bothered D’Alessio. So, he decided to do something about it.

Born in New Jersey in 1989. He also attended Rutgers University (NJ) and Wilmington University (DE), earning a master’s degree in criminal justice administration and homeland security. In 2018, he began to pursue financial certifications and designations, noticing that there was a serious lack of financial education for police officers and other first responders. D’Alessio realized that fellow officers were struggling financially after retirement, and he wanted to do something to help.

STEVE ELLIS

My name is Steve Ellis and I’m an author, licensed cosmetologist and barber, husband, and father. My father, Frederick “Good Fred” Ellis, was a licensed barber for over 40 years, and it was at his barbershop, La Rutan, in the heart of South Los Angeles that I developed my love for barbering and cosmetology. As a result, I followed in my father’s footsteps and have been a licensed stylist for 30 years.

Through running multiple successful businesses, my father taught me the importance of creating generational wealth and building a strong financial future for myself and my family. I consider it my responsibility to share that knowledge as well as tips and tricks I’ve gained throughout my career with the next generation of barbers, cosmetologists, and stylists to ensure they are set up for professional, personal, and financial success. As such, I wrote my book, The Mindset of Acquiring Wealth, to serve as a guide to help them in their journey to financial freedom that takes them from where they are to where they desire to be.

ALON FISCHER

I’ve been in finance for over 20 years and have been very successful, but never found my true calling until about 10 years ago. I lost one of my best friends to a horrific accident. The loss was sudden and I never expected to lose someone so close to me early in my life. He was just recently married and his wife was pregnant with their first child. When I came to meet his wife at the hospital, she didn’t know what to do. He had no will or instructions on how to be buried. His wife didn’t have enough money to take care of the funeral expenses or how to pay the bills without him. We had to come together with all our friends and family to help her out with the mounting bills. This event changed my life forever as I decided to start protecting families so they never have to go thru financial hardships while grieving or taking care of a loved one. I found my calling and have never been happier to help families.

JAMES GUERRA

Raised in San Jose, Ca in the heart of Silicon Valley.  I worked as an Electronics Engineer in Silicon Valley for 25 years. After the 2000 dotcom bust, I realized I did not really have my finances in good order, I had assets, some savings, and a 401k which I had funded modestly. 
After the dotcom bust, I knew I had to get a better handle on my finances and due to a slowdown in the electronics business I looked at learning all I could on finances and started a new career in financial services.  I had the benefit of working with some very experienced people who taught me many financial concepts and strategies for my own financial planning. 
Once I had mastered these along with continuing education I started out on my own in financial services, mainly focusing on personal and small business financial services.
I have over fifteen years of experience now and have helped many families and businesses in structuring their finances to provide maximum value with minimum costs and added benefits, at no extra cost, such as, providing cash for cancer, heart attack and stroke when applicable.
My mission is to educate as many families and business owners as possible to help them take control of their finances by minimizing their out of pocket costs while providing the maximum benefits available to them.
I have great resources behind me to leverage as need for the benefit of my clients.
I look forward to serving all my clients in helping them build a solid financial future for them and their loved ones.

CHRIS QUINTANA

When I started in the financial services industry, it seemed like a man’s world. There is more money to be made in this industry than any other, and I wanted more women to have this opportunity. The opportunity to have more, create more, earn more and have a shot to make their dreams come true.
I always knew that anyone, with the “right” information and tools, can become whom they aspire to be. I knew because that’s precisely what happened with me….. I finally found the right path. I decided to start a financial company. (Money Network Pros) We are disrupting the old school financial industry and building a new one. I found our focus was predominately on women. The fact is more women are needed in the industry. With that realization, we changed the name to FSW and started focusing solely on women and their families. We partner with other licensed financial professionals to provide the needed tools.
When I was young I heard the saying “Money is the root of all evil.” For some reason, I bought into that. I was afraid to make too much money until I came to realize it’s GREED, not the money that makes people evil. I discovered that having more money allowed me to finally have options and be able to make a more significant difference in this world…
I’ve become more ambitious… ambitious to help other women change their lives and have OPTIONS. Money is a tool that gives a person options.
Many financial professionals use “jargon” when it could be said very simply. Instead, it causes intimidation which causes confusion which causes paralysis. The less we know, the more the system makes. I realize we needed to start educating the general population on what is available to them and help them to understand what it is costing them to stay in the dark.
My commitment to you is to be your coach to guide you and help you create an action plan that gets you from where you are to where you want to be.
