About

Glenn spent most of his younger years growing up in North Central Pennsylvania, the second of nine children in his family. Glenn loved (and still loves) being outside, fishing/hunting, and helping his dad and uncles with farm responsibilities. Through his teenage years, he lived briefly in Southern Illinois and followed by upstate New York, before his family moved to the NY/NJ area.

Glenn met his future wife at a local youth group when he was sixteen and she was fifteen. After developing a friendship and eventually dating, they were married in their early twenties and began their family together. Their children Matthew, Michael, Annamarie and Arabella came along soon after.

After initially running small businesses, Glenn began his finance career in 2006 in the hedge fund industry. Due to his desire to help people in a more tangible way, he moved to personal financial planning in 2011 by starting his own firm. After a merger with the Heckmann Financial team in 2022, Glenn became a partner and the leader of the Heckmann Financial Advisor Teams. His leadership role is centered around ensuring alignment of planning philosophies, and world-class service for the benefit of every family we serve.
