After graduating from the University of Pennsylvania in 1996, I began my career as a trader on Wall Street, where I spent a decade honing my skills. I then took some time away to pursue other entrepreneurial endeavors before returning to trading in 2020. This year, I transitioned into financial advising, bringing with me a wealth of experience and a fresh perspective. I hold the SIE License, FINRA Series 7eith LPL Enterprise, and Life, Accident and Health Insurance License.
I grew up in a close-knit Jewish community in Philadelphia, PA, and attended a Jewish elementary school alongside current Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro. His mother, who was one of my early teachers, instilled in me the importance of strong and spirited community activism. My own mother was also a teacher and principal at this school, further reinforcing my commitment to education and community. Today, I remain active in the Brookline/Boston Jewish community and enjoy traveling to Israel.
My wife, Heidi Paisner-Roffman, is an elementary school principal at Wellington Elementary School in Belmont. We have four wonderful children Claire, Evan, Ella, and Sophie.
I have many passions that keep me energized and inspired. Travel, food, and rowing are high on my list. I have rowed more than 1,250 days and over 5 million meters on my Hydrow indoor rowing machine. Friends often associate me with my love of pizza and apples, but my culinary interests are quite diverse. I also love the thrill of discovery—whether it’s finding new places to travel, hike, swim, or eat.
