When I was 5 years old, I started going to work with my dad at one of his 7 diners. We’d get on the road around 6 AM. I was allowed a day-old doughnut from the freezer for breakfast – white-iced, raspberry jelly-filled was my go-to. He usually zapped it too long in the microwave, making the jelly in the middle piping hot. I was great at peeling hardboiled eggs, restocking the candy case, and tallying up carry-out receipts – I loved every minute of it! Dad always said my maiden name, Bassano, meant “hard-worker.” I firmly believe that tongue-in-cheek joke, along with my mom & dad’s entrepreneurial spirit, shaped who I am today. Whether it was graduating college as a double major with honors in 3 years, or cycling the US coast-to-coast in 9 weeks, I put my heart and soul into everything I do. I fully expect the same of myself if given the opportunity to be your financial advisor.
