Andy Duff | CFP®, CLU®, ChFC®

Certified Financial Planner™

Hi, I’m Andy. I’m a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™, which means I am a fiduciary as well. I have a degree in math and statistics, and I’ve been doing this for more than 25 years. My father was in the industry for 45 years, so it runs in the family. Apart from work, I hike and kayak and spend time outdoors to “unplug” from the office. I love spending time with my three (now grown) sons and my grandchildren. My wife and I have been married over 30 years and we still aren’t tired of watching “Notting Hill” together.

In short, I have the qualifications and the professional passion to help you with financial planning. More importantly, I know you have a life outside of your finances, too, and that’s what I’m here to help you achieve.
