  • About

    Hi, I’m Scott, founder of Thrive Wealth Strategies—a fee-only financial planning practice committed to helping you reach your financial goals. I’ve been a financial planner since 1999 and a licensed Medicare specialist since 2005, but my story truly began here in Greater Newburyport.

    My wife, Jen, and I moved here before our first child was born. I served as the inaugural Dad’s Liaison for the Greater Newburyport Mother’s Club, which evolved into the Greater Newburyport Family Club. I was honored to stay involved on its board, eventually becoming Vice President until it shut down due to COVID.

    We now have four children—Finn (11), Rhys (9), Boden (6), and Isla (3)—and they’re my constant inspiration. That’s why I opened Thrive Wealth Strategies right in downtown: to serve clients in the community I love without the hassle of a Boston commute.

    At Thrive, we’ll help you build a secure financial plan so you can focus on family, health, and fun. Whether it’s insurance, budgeting, saving for college, or retirement planning, we guide you every step of the way.

    When I’m not meeting with clients, you’ll find me exploring our coastal town with my family—biking, hiking, or simply enjoying Newburyport’s charm. While life can be overwhelming at times, money shouldn’t be. Let Thrive help you and your loved ones thrive here in our wonderful community.
