Originally from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Peter began his career attending and graduating from Chase Manhattan Bank’s management development program, where he held positions in credit risk management, marketing and private bank lending.
Peter later moved his business to the Merrill Lynch Miami office where he led the Foley Group—a six-person team that primarily advised business owner clients on traditional asset management, wealth transfer techniques, corporate leverage structures and retirement planning.
In 2005, Peter earned a full time leadership position as the associate director of the Midwest Private Bank and Investment Group in Chicago. Recognizing Peter’s talents, he was quickly promoted to complex director for the Northern Florida Market of Merrill Lynch and then to the Boca Tropics Complex.
In 2013 Peter transitioned to UBS to run the Florida East Complex, which was comprised of 153 advisors.
After coaching and developing some of Florida’s top financial advisors, Peter felt compelled to again help clients work towards their financial goals. To that end, Peter partnered with Jim Mahoney and created Focus Wealth Management. Now at RBC Wealth Management, Peter’s current role on the team includes wealth management planning, operational efficiencies and team management. Having run a significant business, his operational experience is a valued addition to their entrepreneurial clients.
Peter and his wife, Andrea, have two children, Peter III and Audrey. He gives back to the community through involvement that includes past board membership and Campaign Chair for the United Way, The Red Cross, The Community Health Center of Palm Beach and The Atlantic Chamber Orchestra. Although Peter’s most fulfilling hobby is supporting his two children in their efforts to remain nationally ranked sailors, he also finds time to pursue his personal passions of golf, fishing, diving and boating.
