Wayne embarked on his financial services journey back in 1996, starting with consumer finance companies that eventually became part of HSBC. Specializing in credit, lending and insurance, he swiftly progressed through the ranks, assuming management roles overseeing multiple offices. His performance at the branch management level led to a promotion as a district manager, where he was responsible for 13 offices and a team of over 70 employees. Wayne's achievements earned him further opportunities over the years with institutions such as Goldman Sachs, Paychex, and Wells Fargo Advisors. With each, he expanded his knowledge base to include investment strategy, retirement plans and financial planning.
Currently serving as the Chairman of the Financial Advisor Council at Steward Partners, Wayne provides invaluable feedback, support, and guidance to the firm's Executive Committee and Board of Directors on behalf of its advisors. His commitment to clients has remained unwavering throughout his career.
Wayne's dedication to excellence is evident in his professional credentials. He is a proud CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional, having undergone extensive financial planning coursework and successfully passing the rigorous CFP® Certification Examination in 2014. He consistently expands his expertise through advanced education, having attained the esteemed Chartered Financial Consultant® designation. This involved comprehensive study in vital areas such as Financial Planning, Retirement Income, Estate Planning, Taxation, and Insurance.
Beyond his professional accomplishments, Wayne's personal life is equally fulfilling. He graduated with honors from the University of New Hampshire, where he met his wife, Kristen. Together, they reside in Chester, NH, where they raised their three children: Sean, Kelley, and Katelyn. Wayne finds joy in playing the piano and maintaining their family farm, named Golden Gait Farm, a nod to their many golden retrievers and the stride of a horse’s step. Golden Gait Farm is home to four horses, three dogs, two goats, and a rabbit. The farm serves as a source of tranquility and clarity, which is beautifully reflected in the McCormick Wealth Management logo.
Demonstrating his commitment to giving back, Wayne actively serves on the Finance and Audit Committee for Families in Transition—a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing emergency food and shelter to those in need, tirelessly working to break the cycle of homelessness. Although he recently concluded his term on the Board of Directors after reaching the limit, Wayne's unwavering dedication to making a positive impact in the community continues to drive him forward.
