Are you a seasoned professional working toward financial independence? Are you a young professional looking for a personalized financial roadmap? Are you somewhere in between? No matter where you fall on the work-life continuum, SAGEbroadview has the tools and expertise to help you achieve your financial goals.
With financial planning representing both a humanistic art as well as an analytic science, David Principe strikes the happy medium in his role as a SAGEbroadview Wealth Manager. Joining us in 2007, David has enjoyed building deep, durable relationships with many of our clients, assisting them personally with their financial life planning. We also often turn to David as a go-to resource for strengthening our technical capabilities, regulatory compliance, and data and analytical research standards.
Before joining us, David’s global experiences took him from two years of teaching English with the Peace Corps in Guinea, West Africa, to retail management with Sears, Roebuck, & Co. in Maine, to seven years as a “jack of all trades” at a North Carolina software company … back to his family home in Vermont, to provide his father with end-of-life care. While serving as executor and trustee for two small family trusts during this period, David saw first-hand the importance of objective financial and estate planning, discovering his own affinity for assisting others facing similar challenges within their families.
After completing the rigorous program and field work required, he obtained his CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ certification in 2010. In addition to his credentials and professional experience, David is a member and proponent of the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors (NAPFA). He holds a bachelor’s degree in English from the University of Colorado at Boulder. He and his wife Karla share their home in Connecticut with their newest beagles Lincoln and Mary Todd as well as their flying-the-nest children Erin and Zack as their time and circumstances allow.
