Here is a bit more about Bob in his own words:

Aside from my role as a Wealth Management Consultant, I am an enthusiastic wood worker. The passion for woodwork has been passed down from my Sicilian grandfather and father, which I hope to eventually pass down to my own son, Alex. Building sheds, decks, flower boxes, and renovating our home are just some of the projects I have completed over the past few years.

In addition to woodworking, I enjoy spending time with family, listening to podcasts, and playing and watching sports. Throughout my teenage years, I spent most of my time playing basketball and whiffle ball at Arnold Park in Abington, MA. Unforgettable memories were made with neighborhood friends, as they say, “until the streetlights came on”. Eventually, my sporting interests changed, and I began competing in triathlons and endurance races. My longest race to date was 8 hours and 55 minutes. Now, as I get older (and the injuries have mounted), I have transitioned again to more low impact sports, like cornhole, golfing, tennis, and coaching.

Just like my interests in sports have evolved over time, so have my career choices on the way to becoming a financial planner. My father was the sole owner of a satellite dish installation company for many years, called LoPorto Satellite, where I began working as his assistant at a very young age. While burning my feet on a roof, 30 feet above the ground, all day long, I daydreamed about exploring something different as a career. So, as a junior in college, I began my journey working as an intern at Abington Savings Bank. From there, I moved to Sovereign Bank, and Boston Financial Data Services in Quincy after that. Eventually, I transitioned to Commonwealth Financial Network in Waltham, where I stayed for 12 years. Finally, in 2017, I joined the team at Axial Financial.

Myself, my wife Lindsay, son Alex, and daughter Ava, live in Dedham and are all very active in the community.

I am an elected member of the legislative branch in Dedham, President of the Dedham Basketball Association, and Creator of Clean-up Dedham (where I organize monthly community cleanup efforts around town).

As a family, we love finding great shows to watch together, annual camping trips, and exploring new places to take special family vacations. Our favorite place to vacation thus far is Universal Studios, Orlando.

Now that you know a lot about me, I look forward to learning more about you. We can talk finance, woodwork, or podcasts. I’m all ears.
