Gary Kuhn joins the firm from workforce solutions firm Nesco Resource but was previously with MassMutual following its acquisition of MetLife’s advisor business where he began his career in MetLife Premier Client Group.
"The opportunity to join a growing firm with a goal towards growth and expansion provided me with perfect next step in my career,” Kuhn noted.
