Mario has been working in the financial services industry since 2015, and he is passionate about helping others navigate the complexities of financial decisions. He grew up in a blue-collar town outside of Scranton, PA, where he learned the values of integrity and resilience at a young age. Witnessing the strong work ethic of his parents and grandparents, he was inspired to pursue a career helping others. Mario earned his bachelor’s degree in Business Administration with a concentration in Finance & Accounting from King’s College.

Mario began his career with Lincoln Financial in 2015, and later joined Merrill Lynch where he built a successful wealth management practice. In 2021, he obtained his CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER ™ certification, which was a significant milestone in his career and helped pave the way for VaMa Oak Wealth.

Mario lives in Northeastern Pennsylvania with his wife Bri and their son Crew. In his free time, he enjoys spending quality time with his family, playing golf, and making a positive impact in his community.
