History
Doug Meyer and Wendy Quattrochi met in 1992 while working at First Investors Corporation. Doug had been working with First Investors, managing an office and working one on one with clients. Wendy had recently left T. Rowe Price in Baltimore. They found that their desire of working with clients on their financial goals were the same. Each wanted to be able to serve the client first, without pressure from a large institution to sell specific products and services. They believed that if the client was put first, that everything would fall into place. This made them eager to leave the proprietary investment world and look to hire an independent broker/dealer who would embrace the idea of providing a large variety of products to clients that were suitable to the individual. In 1994, Doug and Wendy went independent and opened an office in Hanover, MD working as independent representatives, building their own practice and supervising other like-minded independent representatives. In 2008, with advancements in technology and the realization that most client meetings were being held outside the office, they decided to embrace the idea of working remotely. This reduced overhead and continued to allow a focus on providing products and services to clients without the distraction of the rising costs of operating out of a large office space. Since 2008, there have been many changes in the financial services industry. One aspect has remained constant over the years and that is if a client decides to work with this team, they can be assured that attaining their financial goals and dreams will be the first priority in any recommendation that is presented.
