Chairman, Brighton Securities

Years in current role: 15

What was your biggest success in 2023?

Smoothly integrating an acquired business — finally.

What are your expectations for your organization in 2024?

Bring on a new group of trainees to further expand our services in Western NY.

What are you most concerned about this year?

The presidential election is a bit more of a wild card this year than most, though in the long run that will likely not have much effect on the US economy. But, of course, the short run is not the long run. Closer to home, I am deeply concerned about the effects on crime on our community. A rise in crime throughout our region is giving one more reason, along with a quest for lower taxes and better economic growth, for residents to consider moving to other states.

If you couldn’t work in your current industry, what would you want to do instead?

I can’t even conjure an answer for this one. Travel agent, perhaps?

What is your favorite activity to do in Rochester?

I’m not much for snow, so with Rochester’s great restaurant scene, dinner with friends is a great option this time of year.
