Ed approaches his client relationships with a focus on comprehensive financial planning. He follows a clear process designed to help boost clients' confidence in their long-term plans: advising on their financial roadmap, risk management, asset allocation, and which investments to consider.
The financial well-being of his clients has been Ed's passion since 1998, when he began his career in retail and commercial banking after receiving his Bachelor of Science in Finance from Robert Morris University. He spent seventeen years as a partner at Snow Capital Management before starting his own firm, 79 Financial LLC, in 2021. In 2024, he teamed up with Farther to better support his clients with the resources Farther provides.
While based in Pittsburgh, PA, Ed serves clients in several states. When he’s not helping families with their finances, he likes spending time with his wife of more than 30 years and three grown children. He enjoys kayaking, fishing, and hitting the trails for a run. He blends these passions with another: raising awareness about financial topics that people can apply in their own lives. That’s the purpose behind his series of videos called Woods & Wealth. Episodes are about a minute and a half long and are filmed on the trails or by the lake. Check out his LinkedIn profile or YouTube channel and be sure to follow so you don’t miss new episodes!
