Steve Melchiorre went from carrying a gun as a juvenile probation officer to building wealth plans for everyday Philadelphia families.
In this member spotlight, host Vince Quinn talks with Steve Melchiorre — financial planner and co-chair of the Pyramid Club's Young Executive Committee — about a career that zigzagged through law enforcement and carpentry before landing in financial planning. Steve works with everyday individuals, families, and businesses, using the same tax and finance strategies usually reserved for the ultra-wealthy, and he's building an "I got a guy" network to connect Philadelphia's young professionals.
