Tim grew up in Philadelphia during the 1960’s, meaning he witnessed social unrest firsthand— and this had tremendous impact on how he developed his personal life goals.

These experiences provide a crucial context to the life he’s dedicated to addressing inequities and helping give a voice to those who have none.

A People’s Person  

Tim started as a social worker, serving as a child abuse and neglect case manager for his first decade out of college. Years later, he aggressively negotiated better working conditions for blue-collar employees during his time as an Executive Vice President of a labor union. After beginning his career in the private sector, he turned his focus to fighting for the financial improvement of his clients’ lives.
 
The common thread running through Tim’s story is one of working selflessly for others, helping people exercise their right to self-determination and helping to enable them to live the life they desire.

Using Strengths  

When Tim co-founded The Princeton Group with his wife Donna M. Sabb, he believed there was an untapped opportunity in the soon-to-be flourishing independent Financial Advisor market.

His business model is one of providing opportunities to advisors, helping develop strong talents into superb ones, and helping to simplify the path towards prosperity.

More than twelve years later, he still strives to build an environment where Financial Advisors and their clients can grow and flourish.

Outside the Office  

Tim is a Seinfeld aficionado and passionate movie buff. Chances are that if you offer him a line from a comedy, he can place it.

Tim is a Certified Investment Management Analyst^®, a designation he earned through the Wharton School of Business and conferred by the Investment Management Consultants Association, of which Tim is a member. He is also a member of the International Academy of Collaborative Professionals.

Every life has a turning point, often at a most unexpected time and way.  Donna’s happened in 2008. 

The Bernie Madoff scandal and the Great Recession converged, presenting her a choice: To leave her fate to the turbulent economy or bet on the skills she built at Merrill Lynch and Smith Barney.

Of course, she chose the latter without flinching.

Donna and her husband Tim, founded The Princeton Group in March 2009. It was to be either the best of times or the worst for the newly minted Financial Services Practice.

All Work Is Honorable
Before her career in financial services, Donna was a social worker. A housekeeper for Mrs. Johnson. A line worker at Ford Motor. At every turn, Donna was driven to create opportunity in her career.

Today, 36 years later, she continues to work just as diligently for her clients. She is a seasoned financial services professional with broad experience in investment planning and developing personal and collaborative client relationships. As a business owner, Donna believes in effective management and team building with visionary leadership, collective goal sharing and stimulating coaching. Donna has the creative ability to develop customized plans to provide both individual results while building a cohesive team environment. She is tenacious in mentoring the women of The Princeton Group (currently 32% of the Practice) and resolute in promoting leadership skills in the Practice’s second generation.

Donna believes all work is honorable. Her hard-won success taught her that every dollar entrusted to her represents hours of work, saving and budgeting. Her mission as a trusted Financial Advisor is to help each family achieve their goals and pursue happiness. Her belief in investment planning and helping guide sound financial decisions are the foundation of a trustworthy relationship. Loyalty is earned by treating people well.

Financial Inclusion
Donna’s fosters all of her clients’ financial health and well-being. However, her lifelong mission is to bring more female advisors to the financial services industry, helping women own their financial independence as Advisors and dispel the unfounded etiquette of money silence among women.

Orlando can be described as a leader, not a follower, independent in thought and willing to explore creative solutions to help his clients achieve their aspirations. He’s a responsible and caring lone wolf—and one who is unafraid to stray from the conventional thought of the pack.

Other financial advisors may prefer to invest according to whatever their firm may recommend. Orlando prefers to mine the opinions from major investment houses and boutiques on topics dealing with estate planning strategies and investments seeking three things: Data, data and more data.  

As a Russian proverb says, “Doveryai, no proverya” (Trust, but verify).

The reason why is simple. Data should reveal a financial narrative or the variables that shape market forces. And in Orlando’s hands, that data can be transformed into exceptionally well-crafted investment strategies informed by meticulous analysis.

An independent thinker, he questions everything as he looks for the root cause of “Why.” He’s cognizant that knowledge is transitory in this financial industry—and that keeping an open mind is fundamental.

One of the First  

Orlando received his degree from Yale University.

Perhaps even more impressively, he was one of the first to receive a formal education in a consultative-style approach to investing. 

He learned first-hand from estate planning attorneys, investment management firms, bank trust departments and others—professionals whose expertise and insights are frequently needed to deliver the success his clients’ desire.

Since he was on the leading edge of this type of educational experience, he believes he can say he’s been putting holistic investment plans into place longer than most of his peers. 

Orlando has earned the Certified Investment Management Analyst™ (CIMA®) designation, which helps him simplify complex financial matters, from business succession strategies to tax-minimizing strategies and wealth-transfer strategies for individuals and organizations alike.

Outside the Office  

Orlando likes to keep active mentally and physically. When he’s not reading a financial report or earnings statement, you’ll find him strength training, running or bicycling.

Don didn’t mean to, but he fell into his career backwards.

When an injury forced him to retire as a Naval Aviator, he started serving people in a different way: Financially.
 
Along the way, he’s worked as a branch manager, regional sales manager and a management training advisor for industry giants like Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley. 

But he’s his happiest as a financial advisor.

The title might be less glamorous, but Don knows the role he plays in his clients’ financial wellbeing carries massive importance.
 

Easy Job. Hard Work. 

Don will tell you his job is easy. Literally everyone—no matter their net worth or the amount of investible assets—could use advice when it comes to making sensible, realistic investment plans.

Don will also tell you his work that goes into creating and managing those investment strategies is complex and carries with it a massive responsibility.

Dialogue Before Doing 

Don’s experience in the armed forces made planning the foundation in his approach.  But before he creates a plan, he listens to what his clients say—intelligently. 

It’s how he can uncover insights about their financial situation to provide his trademark financial counseling based on what they have now—and what they want to happen in the future.  He strives to help create that balance between emotion and strategy as clients maneuver through life’s events.

 

Outside the Office

Don’s a workhorse, so it makes sense he’s also an amateur equestrian.  He owns several (too many) competition level P.R.E. (Andalusian) dressage horses.

He’s happily married to Wendy and the proud father of three (almost) adult children.

Colleen was taught the value of financial independence at a young age from her father. Now as a financial advisor, Colleen stresses the importance of building a strong financial foundation.

From establishing emergency funds as early as possible to taking advantage of employer-plan matches, she believes in empowering her clients through financial education, providing the tools necessary for all of her clients to feel confident, comfortable and prepared to achieve their aspirations. 

Taking Emotion Out of Money

Every stage of life comes with its own emotional energy, from building assets during working years to the excitement of retiring—even the potential worry surrounding one’s estate. 

Colleen’s calming presence and thoughtful process are fundamental to creating rational plans for where her
clients are in life.

Her completion of the highly accelerated CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER^TM certification from Temple University informs recommendations that are steady, practical and easy to understand.

Proper Planning Prevents Poor Performance

Deliberate, thorough action has to be delivered for a plan to succeed. Colleen’s dedication to understanding her clients’ situation and goals translates into a plan for the life her clients want to live.

After all, actionable advice comes from accurate information. Colleen’s masterful communication skills ease any intimidation clients might feel, allowing them to open up and talk about their situation without judgement.

Outside the Office

Colleen is a Mountaineer from West Virginia University, where she graduated Summa Cum Laude. She served as her sorority’s President, which she continues to volunteer through the Chi Omega Philadelphia Alumnae Association as the chapter’s Treasurer. She also gives back to her community as a member of Soroptimist International, a women’s organization devoted to providing resources to promote education and social empowerment. 

Colleen enjoys experimenting with different recipes, traveling to new places, and spending time outside running, hiking or golfing.

Matthew is a people’s person, through and through. He’s a natural connector with an ability to relate on a deeper level, almost instantly.

To him, nothing is more powerful - or empowering - than a conversation. This is what gives people the opportunity to dream about their lives and what could be possible with proper investment planning in place. It also provides the inspiration to activate their dreams as soon as possible.

As he’s lived in or explored more than 50 countries, Matthew is experienced in striking up meaningful conversations, no matter a person’s background.

And with his Master’s in Financial Economics from the prestigious St. Andrews University in Scotland, he is fluent in discussing comprehensive financial guidance with a specialization in investment management and wealth preservation strategies.

Asking a question will only get you so far. Real information comes by following up, searching for the why behind the answer. Why someone wants to retire at a certain age. Why they want to have a certain amount of money. Or why they would consider changing careers.

That’s why Matthew digs deeper during his discussions. He believes this is how you build open, honest lines of communication. 

Sharing Experience

Matthew helps to attract interested Financial Advisors who may want to consider becoming part of The Princeton Group's independent financial advisory practice.

Robyn has always worked for a cause.

After graduating from Penn State, Robyn started her career in the medical field. When her life’s plans changed, she made the natural choice to continue her mission of making lives better, this time as a financial advisor.

The transition from Healthcare to Financial Management made sense because the roles are similar. Both involve difficult conversations. Both require complete two-way honesty. And both focus on well-being. Only instead of her clients’ physical health, she’s now focused on improving their fiscal health.

Facing Forward

Like many others, student loans have shaped Robyn’s relationship with money. In fact, before her career in finance, Robyn researched and created a plan to pay off her student loans which is partially responsible for sparking her all-consuming interest in helping others face their financial future with confidence and a tailored, well thought out plan—from young entrepreneurs to those well into their retirement.

Robyn understands the importance of taking a forward-looking approach to preparing for what’s to come. That means getting into the weeds of current events, the political landscape, industry trends, product offerings, and how they influence each other. 

She is a huge proponent of technology, always utilizing the firm’s compliance-approved platforms and technology offerings to better serve her clients and deliver crucial information in a highly personalized, timely way.

Outside the Office

True to her philanthropic nature, Robyn is an active alumna of the Chi Omega Fraternity. She found her passion to help other women while serving as chapter President during her time at Penn State. She is also a member of Soroptimist International of Indian Rock, a global volunteer organization that provides women and girls with access to the education and training they need to achieve economic empowerment. Robyn is also passionate about mental health awareness and suicide prevention. 

Robyn is a self-described foodie who enjoys exploring restaurants and trying new foods with her friends and family. She’s also no stranger to leading an active lifestyle by traveling, running, doing just about anything outdoors, and practicing yoga and pilates when she gets the chance.

When The Princeton Group needed someone to open their first satellite location, the group believed Greg’s lifetime of leadership experience made him an obvious choice. The skills he has cultivated over the years—problem-solving, compassion, collaboration—have helped bring out the best of the practice’s advisors and associates.

More importantly, these same skills help lead his clients through complex financial matters, with his decisive, intelligent investment strategies.

People are the Passion

Greg wakes up every day with one goal on his mind: To improve his clients’ lives.  

You’ll know exactly what he means when you sit across from him.

He knows every worthwhile client relationship is founded on an unshakeable trust, one nurtured and developed over meaningful conversations. He believes this never-ending desire for getting to know people is what distinguishes him in his role. After all, he’s asking people to give him a lifetime of earnings—and he shoulders this immense responsibility with equal determination.

Shoes and Hats

Greg invests alongside his clients. That means putting himself in their shoes, asking “What would I do if this was my situation?” It’s how he establishes realistic expectations and specific investing plans, regardless of circumstances.

As a business owner, he wears more than one hat, making his experience relatable and relevant for all types of clients: Entrepreneurs, people who are transitioning careers, those close to retiring and those still building their wealth.

Outside the Office

Knowing your game plan is critical. After all, assets are only part of financial security. Open and honest conversations, operating with intent, having a clear purpose while defining goals and staying true to the process are just as important.

To David, goals without a plan are just a wish. That’s why he develops well-rounded investment strategies before acting with his trademark all-in attitude.

Investing with Impact 

David wants his clients to smile, laugh and live vibrantly.

That means understanding what makes up their beliefs, their investment background and goals to find investments that align with core values.

Naturally, clients want their investments to do good, but they also want their investment to be doing good for others—and he gladly helps make that happen.

Educating and Evaluating  

David earned his Certified Investment Management Analyst® designation from the Investments Management Consultants Association® in conjunction with the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania, giving him the expertise to analyze investments and asset managers to make informed financial decisions.

This extensive education plus his over two decades of industry experience makes him a go-to for creating effective investment, retirement income and estate planning strategies for individuals, families and businesses.

He also holds FINRA series 7, 24, 63, 65, and SIE registrations along with state insurance licenses.

David engages with clients however they want: In-person, virtually, by phone or email.

These interactions discuss on-going opportunities to adjust plans or goals as needed, in easy-to-understand language. They also help clients prepare for life changes, major market shifts and hallmark events.

You can tell a lot about a financial advisor from how they’ve built their practice.

Bill built his by seeing the world through his clients’ eyes. That’s because every person leads a singular life, and each requires an individualized investing strategy. 

In his eyes, generic solutions won’t cut it—and he’s devoted the last 22 years to building highly-personalized portfolios from scratch. 

Due Diligence  

Bill wears two hats: His planning hat and his trading hat. 

He often switches between the latter two during meetings—but only after he’s done his extensive due diligence in getting to know the ins and outs of his clients’ needs.

That deep dive into fully understanding his clients is foundational to creating goals-based investment planning that focuses on growth, tax, family and other objectives. Whenever possible, he creates synergistic portfolios that reflect the views, values and beliefs his clients hold.

Smart Work Pays Off  

Bill’s well-rounded education includes many certifications. He holds his Series 7, 9, 10, 21, 63 and 65 licenses, a Social Security and Medicare planning certificate, multiple insurance licenses plus designation as he’s also a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional.

But it’s a real-life commitment he values the most: Being available. While other advisors might shut off at 4pm, Bill’s no stranger to answering calls on a Friday night or Sunday morning. Otherwise, he would be neglecting his clients’ dreams. And that’s not how he built his practice.

Outside the Office  

Bill roots for the Philadelphia Eagles and whichever team is playing the Cowboys. He’s a globetrotter who enjoys discovering new destinations, with Jerusalem being his favorite. Bill is also a founding member of Collegeville’s Business Network International. 

He’s ecstatic to be married to Renee, his wife of 26 years. They’re the proud parents of two children and call Limerick home.

Success in life is determined by where you finish, not where you start. 

David’s 38-year industry tenure is a perfect example of this adage. He started as a stockbroker for Dean Witter Reynolds after graduating from Ursinus College with a degree in economics. 

Soon after, a deeply personal experience forced him to reevaluate his career, leading him to invest his efforts with greater purpose: helping people understand and reach their financial goals. 

Invaluable Experience  

David’s longevity means he has been through many market booms and busts. For any investor, that type of professional experience should inspire confidence.

But just as important—and potentially overlooked—is his life experience.

He has lived through most of the same major milestones his clients have or will experience: Getting married, buying and selling homes or investment properties, saving for his children’s education, handling his parent’s estates, executing strategies to keep taxes in check, preparing for retirement and creating estate planning strategies.

His “been there, helped with that” mentality, along with his extremely relatable personality, nurtures the confidence clients need when making major financial decisions.  

Educating and Celebrating  

Caring. To David, this is his number one responsibility. It also happens to be his favorite part of his career.

Educating clients, making sure they understand every potential pro, con or risk. These are the conversations he looks forward to most, because these can have the power to change a client’s life. And you can count on him to celebrate with you as each goal is met.  

Outside the Office  

David is actively involved in his Church and the Christian Business Community. He has been active in building homes for the poor in Guatemala and currently serves on the Board of Directors for a Community group in Haiti.

Happily married for 30 years, he and his wife are proud parents of three children, the oldest adopted from Guatemala and the youngest from China.

To say Shaun’s career has been molded by his experience working with prominent figures in public policy, economics and law would be an understatement.

Shaun was inspired by Nobel Laureates in Economics, such as Robert Mundel and James Buchanan. He was mentored by public policy thought leaders such as Jack Kemp and Bill Bennett. And he was educated by law and economic scholars such as Richard Ippolito and Francesco Parisi. 

Though he no longer practices law, Shaun served as a former lawyer-economist for influential organizations. He was also a Capitol Hill legislative counsel for House of Representatives Policy Committee Chairman, Congressman John Shaddegg. That means Shaun has an exceptional understanding of the financial forces, both macro and micro, that affect our lives every day—and he uses that to his clients’ advantage.

A Hybrid Approach

Modeling of portfolios is both an interest and a specialty of Shaun’s. While index investing can generate solid results, Shaun prefers considering multiple factors, from historical valuations and growth potential to macroeconomic developments and global economic forces.

He believes this fusion of sensible and strategic thinking distinguishes him from his peers.

Earning Trust

It doesn’t matter if you have $10 or $10 million to invest; Shaun will strive to earn 100% of your trust.

That’s because his clients, which include business owners as well as high net worth individuals and families, don’t have unlimited time to recoup dramatic losses. He’s seen lives altered by imprudent investments that don’t align with one’s true risk tolerance. You can expect him to gain your hard-earned respect with every investment decision he makes.

Outside the Office

Shaun is a happy family man, cheering on his sons at their youth hockey games or giving his daughter a standing ovation at her ballet recitals.

He and his wife, who met on their first day of law school, live in Collegeville, PA with their four children and their dog, Einstein.

Not all my friends are clients, but all my clients are friends.

Knowing and understanding my clients’ needs drives the relationship beyond those usually shared between professionals and their clients. I am proud to be one of the first people my friends and clients call when they have a concern, whether it is financial or personal. I want to be by their sides as they navigate challenges and to share their happiness when life is good. The goal is for my advice to make a difference in how clients feel about their finances, and in turn how their finances affect their lives.

For more decades than I’d like to admit I’ve watched the markets struggle and soar, doing it again and again. I am more than acquainted with long-term investing and short-term angst. These experiences have formed my approach to market fluctuations and client advice. Everyone’s plan is custom and personal, just like every relationship.

Chris’s extensive financial and legal education combined with years of investing experience position him well to aid his clients to protect, grow and ultimately transition their wealth.  

Early Influences  

Chris was raised in a family that values financial savvy and responsible investing. His father openly talked about the significance of saving early. He impressed upon Chris the importance of having your money work for you and the incredible impact of compounding interest. These conversations influenced his nearly lifelong fascination with investing and his decision to major in Finance. His early financial education led him intern with his uncle, Marty, who he later partnered with to grow and develop Kelly Private Wealth Management. Marty taught Chris the importance of truly partnering with his clients in order to tailor each experience to meet their varied and individual needs. 

Over his multi-decade career, Chris has earned a reputation as a calming, educated and trusted resource for his clients. It’s a reputation he strives to maintain with every client conversation and decision he makes. 

Protecting and Defending   

Chris views his main responsibility as defending his clients, their wealth, and their assets. He has helped his clients successfully navigate several market downturns. He’s learned that often the times of greatest disruption can provide the greatest opportunities. 

The skills Chris developed as an attorney shine through in multiple ways. While he no longer practices law, his extensive experience dealing with wills and estates help ensure his clients are well-prepared to deal with this crucial, emotional part of their wealth. He’s also learned how to ask probing, open-ended questions so his clients reveal the reasons behind their answers. Through critical thinking and analysis, he is often able to reverse engineer the most reasonable, risk adverse investment strategies to help his clients reach their desired financial future. 

Outside the Office  

Chris spends as much of his time as possible with his wife, Beth, and three boys, Seamus, Graham and Mitchell. In his down time, Chris can often be found golfing and skiing with his sons or on the road to root on their travelling baseball teams. He is active in his community and currently serves on the Board of Directors of the Country Club of Scranton and on the Board of Trustees of the Waverly Community House.

When Gary was 55, he fell down a 14-foot shaft, paralyzing him from the waist down. Nobody would have blamed him if he retired then and there.

Instead, he requested a cafeteria table, a printer and a phone be brought up while he was rehabilitating at the Shephard Center. Here’s the reason: It’s really easy to help people if you want to. And Gary wants to help.

He did so as a hospice volunteer. And when he gave daily talks on the importance of 401(k) plans at the Department of Labor from 2000-2002. And he’s still helping his clients, 28 years into his career.
 

Do What You Say

Gary’s personal experiences with financial matters have greatly shaped his investment philosophy.

He saw his father’s pension weakened by inflationary pressures. His mother required 24-hour care in the latter years of her life, without long term care insurance to help with the cost.

He learned two lessons from those experiences: Being too conservative with assets can be just as risky as being too speculative, and it’s important to plan for the worst-case scenario. Gary purchased long term care insurance in 2006, which is still paying for his Certified Nursing Assistants.

Understanding What’s Important

When done well, investment planning provides a positive result for each family member. It also requires a holistic review to understand risk, risk tolerance, realistic objectives and identify potential needs.

It’s his responsibility as a Financial Advisor to help clients understand what’s important to help them live the lives they want. And his life story gives him an opportunity to help his clients prioritize what matters—personally and financially—with a proper perspective.

Outside the Office

Gary is blessed to have a strong support network. Gary enjoys spending time with his family and friends, playing cards, and spending time with his two shih tzus.

Bob is a big believer in sustainability. Just as we only have one planet, we only have one retirement. Fortunately for Bob’s clients, his near 20 years of professional financial wisdom often make a profound positive influence for that specific life stage. 

Reducing While Improving  

Bob’s specialty is in providing defined contribution, defined benefit and non-qualified plan consulting services to plan sponsors and companies with the mission to help their employees.

Along the way, he applies the same principles of sustainability. In the financial sense, that includes:

• Reducing plan costs 
• Improving the customer experience
• Making investment plans operate more efficiently
• Exemplifying customer service 

This in-depth attention can be the difference between his clients being able to retire—and retiring comfortably—so Bob makes it a point to capitalize on these opportunities whenever possible.

School Is Always In Session  

Bob understands the importance of financial literacy. That’s why he strives for his clients to recognize him for pouring hours into educating.

He believes what he does sets him apart in the industry: Every year, he aims to hold three teaching sessions: Two for employees and one for employers. 

He covers the basics, from budgeting and the difference between stocks and bonds, to advanced material like options trading and establishing trusts. 

Second shift, third shift, it doesn’t matter. Clients may need Bob’s time, whether they know it or not. That’s why he spends most of his days reaching out, because even if they don’t know what questions they should be asking, it’s his responsibility to provide answers.

Outside the Office  

Bob does his part to make the world a better place. A seasoned Army service member, he helps veterans find jobs. He also volunteers for numerous local non-profits and serves as the Chairperson for the Sustainable Norcross Commission.

Jeff understands how one’s relationship with finances can affect their life. As a child of divorce, he saw his mother deal with many emotions when it came to money, ranging from the stress of saving to the fear of not having enough for later in life.


That experience made such an impression that he has made it his mission for nearly 30 years to help his clients—especially women—take an active, hands-on approach to building and maintaining the financial future they want. Part of that mission includes holding educational events such as Wine, Women and Wealth workshops.
 

Enjoying the Process

Jeff believes his biggest strength as a Financial Advisor is building relationships, one conversation at a time. Nothing is more important than fully knowing what matters personally—and financially—to his clients.

As part of his process, he wants his clients to clearly define their lifestyle-driven values, goals and priorities. He’ll ask: “What life objectives are you hoping to reach by building your wealth?” or “What do you want to achieve by working with me?”

The answers form the foundation of what follows.

When appropriate, Jeff prefers to invite spouses, partners or significant others to those important first conversations and subsequent reviews. Because just as the parts of an investment plan need to work together, so do the people involved.

Seeing the process develop, seeing his clients become more confident and live out their retirement based on the plans they made together brings him a great deal of joy and satisfaction.
 

Outside the Office

Jeff pays it forward in his community. He serves on many committees and organizations, including the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO) Chicago Chapter Board, as Commissioner for the Northbrook  Park District and as President of the Chicago Lions Charitable Organization, which includes the Chicago Lions Rugby team.

He lives in Northbrook with his wife, and they are proud to have raised three successful sons. He loves being active and won a Gold Medal representing the USA in rugby at the World Maccabiah Games in 1997.
