Patrick Rohe is a fee-only financial advisor at Rockbridge Investment Management, LLC, located in Syracuse, NY

How I got here:  “Upon graduation from Cornell University, I was recruited by a large brokerage firm. After months of sales training and minimal help in understanding even the basics of investing, I quickly learned that the brokerage firm model was not for me. I then made the transition to Rockbridge, a fee-only financial planning firm, where I truly enjoy helping people and making a difference in their financial lives!”

Favorite part of the job: “Meeting all of the different families that I get the pleasure to work with. I feel my job is to help simplify the financial planning process for families, and when I succeed at doing so, I find it very rewarding!”
