Paul in real life

Why do you like working at Mercer Advisors?

Mercer Advisors strives to keep its promises to clients. Being at a firm that is focused on clients first is incredibly rewarding. Knowing that I am empowered to do the right thing in every situation is a rare gift.

What keeps you busy outside of work?

I enjoy spending my time with my wife, our daughters, and our friends. We enjoy exploring new places, boating, skiing, and relaxing on the beach. In quieter moments, I love to cook, read, and build the finest pillow forts in the Northeast with my girls.

How do you give back?

As someone who came from a modest start, ending food insecurity is a passion of mine. My family supports several organizations dedicated to this cause, most notably the Community FoodBank of New Jersey and Feeding America.
