For 30 years, Scott has helped his clients work toward their most important financial and life goals.
Scott’s passion is simply to serve his clients well and to build lifelong relationships with them. Scott began his career with Legg Mason in 1987, ultimately becoming a Senior Vice President and Complex Manager, overseeing Eastern Pennsylvania for Wells Fargo Advisors. In January 2018, Scott returned full-time to his first love, working one-on-one with his clients to help steward their financial assets through close relationships built on trust and mutual respect. With 30 years of industry experience, the opportunity to found and serve his clients at Monocacy Wealth Partners, LLC, supported by the exceptional services and strength of Raymond James Financial, was a perfect next step. Scott was raised in Bethlehem, PA, where he met and married “the girl next door”, Rose Tallarico. They have been married for 40 years and have four children and four grandchildren. Outside of work and family, Scott serves as a teacher at Calvary Baptist Church.
Scott was led to join the financial services industry for the primary reason of helping people.
Understanding the benefits of investing at a young age, he is passionate about helping younger generations start down the right path so that they are more prepared for the future.
Scott knew early on that he wanted to bring a fresh perspective of investing to his clients. He focuses on three major areas of concern: fee transparency, risk, and holistic planning. Scott graduated from the Pennsylvania State University with a degree in Accounting from the Smeal College of Business. His background in public accounting gave him the experience of making strategic decisions based on financial information. Scott lives in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, with his wife Lindsay and son James. Outside of the office, Scott is passionate about his local community.
