Martin has been advising and guiding multi-generational family wealth, business owners, and entrepreneurs for more than 30 years.
A graduate of Dean College and the University of Massachusetts, Martin began his career in the financial industry with Dean Witter Reynolds in 1988. He later joined Legg Mason, a predecessor of Morgan Stanley, in 1991 and has remained with the firm ever since. Over the course of his career, Martin has remained dedicated to helping families navigate the complex and unique challenges of multi-generational wealth.
A life-long learner, Martin earned the elite Family Wealth Director designation—held by fewer than 5% of Morgan Stanley advisors )as of December 2024)—through rigorous coursework and practical study. He also obtained the Certified Portfolio Manager® designation through Columbia University. Additionally, he serves as a Portfolio Manager Director at Morgan Stanley.
As a co-founder and principal of his team, Martin brings deep experience, Morgan Stanley’s global resources, and a highly personalized approach to his clients’ financial lives. He has been named a Forbes Best-in-State Advisor from 2019 to 2025 and recognized as a Boston Magazine Five Star Wealth Manager for each of the past 10 years (as of 2025).
Martin is a lifelong resident of the South Shore of Massachusetts and is deeply committed to his community. He serves on the Board of Trustees at Dean College in Franklin, MA. Martin has been committed to supporting HomeStart for over 16 years, primarily as a founder and participant of their Icycle event, which raises critical funds to fight homelessness. His passion for giving back extends to Dean College, where he’s actively involved as a donor and serves on both the Audit and Finance Committees.
In his free time, Martin enjoys spending as much time as possible with his family, flying as a private pilot, alpine skiing, and riding his motorcycle. He is also often seen in the company of his two very large dogs.
