About Matthew Lubanko
As a former newspaper reporter, Matthew Lubanko takes an editor’s approach to personal finance.
Through question-and-answer sessions with clients, he works to identify clutter – the assets and debts that stand in the way of the forward motion of the story. After the clutter is mutually identified and removed, Matthew then takes on the role of a reporter drafting an outline.
How does a client want his or her story to end? How will we, working together, help attain that end? What resources will help a client’s family reach its goals? What obstacles stand in the way?
Away from the office, Matthew pretends to ski and play golf. He spends most of his free time on a bicycle, having pedaled more than 40,000 miles in the last 10 years in ten Canadian provinces and 49 U.S. states. Time on the road is time to reflect. It is also a test of one’s endurance and resourcefulness, especially when mechanical problems bedevil a bicycle that’s more than 200 miles away from the nearest bike shop.
Matthew graduated from Boston University with a BA in international relations. He earned his Certified Financial Planner (CFP) credential in 2011. He is the father of two adult children. He lives in Madison (CT) with his partner, Cate, and two cats, Elke and Oslo. His charitable causes include Bikes for Kids CT, The American Red Cross (giving blood), Friends of the Scranton Library (Madison, CT), and picking up litter in public places, including a recent stint with Friends of the (New Haven) Green.
