Paul Marino and Rick Stram met early in their careers as Senior Financial Advisors at Ameriprise Financial. While successful, both were drawn to becoming independent advisors because of their shared belief that clients are better served when advisors choose investments based on their best interest - not according to a bonus or incentive.

In 1997, Paul and Rick founded Marino, Stram and Associates, LLC., now MSA Financial, in Braintree, Mass. Today the company is building wealth for clients in New England and across the nation, all while keeping their best interest in mind.
