For Tom Dingley, service isn't just a career path—it’s a calling. A veteran of the U.S. Navy, Tom spent 14 years (1997–2011) as a Personnel Specialist, earning different awards and commendations for his leadership and dedication. It was during his deployment for Operation IRAQI FREEDOM in 2006 that he began his journey into financial planning, realizing he wanted to protect the futures of the families who work the hardest.
Today, as a Chartered Financial Consultant (ChFC®), Tom specializes in supporting blue-collar families and fellow veterans. He translates the complexity of multi-generational wealth management and cash-flow planning into clear, actionable strategies. Having advised on multi-million dollar employer retirement plans, Tom brings "big-picture" expertise to the kitchen table, ensuring every client receives the "Great Customer Service" they deserve.
Tom holds a degree in Financial Planning and Analysis from Empire State College and completed his vocational training at Boston University. He remains an avid supporter of numerous veteran organizations, serving as a trusted advisor to those who have served.
Tom resides in Brunswick, NY, with his wife, Marlene, and their two daughters, Emma and Ariana. When he isn’t helping clients navigate their financial futures, he enjoys staying active outdoors—usually catching up with his wife and their dog, Tuna, on long walks through the neighborhood.
