Ray Di Filippo
The entrepreneurial spirit has been running through my veins for as long as I can remember. I was in my early twenties when I launched my first business, providing tools and shop equipment to the automotive and truck repair industry. Ten years later I sold my firm and began working for a much larger organization where I worked directly with other small and mid-sized business owners. Perhaps not surprisingly, my hard-working, blue collar background served me well when dealing with business owners who started their firms from the ground up. Over the past 30 years, I’ve held various corporate and executive positions in multiple industries. I understand the benefits, challenges, and opportunities business owners and corporate executives must contend with.
But telling you about my professional background really doesn’t paint the entire picture of who I am. I am a husband, a father, and a grandfather. I was lucky enough to marry my high school sweetheart and am proud to have the privilege of calling her my wife today. I believe in honoring commitments, and that family and faith come first. I believe that working with my clients is a mutual endeavor, and that building a relationship on the foundation of trust is paramount to my client’s success.
As a financial professional, I am committed to helping people just like you create solutions for their retirement assets. Once I understand your risk tolerance, time horizon and goals, I’ll work diligently to develop a program that carefully balances investment strategies with preserving principal.
Knowledge is power. It’s also the foundation for intelligent, well-considered decisions. When you have retirement in sight, sound decisions are vital in helping you pursue your goals and avoid costly mistakes that can affect your future.
Today’s economic environment brings challenges. But along with challenges come opportunities and potential rewards. I work closely with my clients to evaluate those opportunities and get in position to reap those rewards. I enjoy helping people build a solid financial foundation for the future.
I invite you to check out all the material on my website. If something prompts a question, please send me a quick email or call my office. I would enjoy speaking with you.
My reason for this career path was quite personal: I saw that many members of my own family, as well as friends, were not getting the kind of help they needed to effectively plan for their financial future. I was confident that with my understanding of personal finance, coupled with my training as a financial professional, I could help people better prepare for the future. DBD Retirement and Financial Services, LLC is registered with the SEC. I hold the Virginia state insurance license, and a Series 66 licenses. I have developed a reputation for educating individuals in an easy-to-understand manner so they can grasp personal finance ideas and use those concepts to pursue their financial objectives.
My wife and I have enjoyed living in the house that we built in 1994 in Independent Hill, VA. In our spare time, we enjoy spending time with our children and grandchildren who live nearby. We feel a strong commitment to our community, and have been members of Heritage Baptist Church, Woodbridge, VA since 1994 when we relocated to Virginia.
