YPO Connecticut River Valley Connection
ATP Alarms/ ATP Fire
My wife, Jennifer, and I live in Fairfield, Connecticut with our three young girls (ages 7, 5, and 2). Jen is a therapist in town with a thriving practice. Although we are both very busy professionally, we make it a point to have dinner as a family almost every night. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with friends, family, and being active (I recently completed the Boston Marathon running for Dana Farber).
​
My primary business focus is growing American Total Protection LLC (“ATP”), a commercial and home electronic security and fire protection business with offices in Connecticut and Florida. ATP was founded in 2012 by my father. At the time, he was a partner at Robinson and Cole in Hartford. He was very entrepreneurial outside of his practice had acquired several businesses over the years. In 2013, my father past away from cancer and I entered the family businesses. Extremely overwhelmed, I went to a friend of my father’s for guidance and was encouraged to join YPO.
YPO continues to be instrumental in my personal and professional growth. My forum has been an outstanding resource for vetting opportunities and working through challenges. Having confidants that I can rely on for sincere advice and guidance is invaluable.
Since ATP’s inception 12 years ago, we have grown both organically and through strategic acquisitions. Through acquisitions, we now offer fire sprinkler and fire extinguisher services in Florida. In Connecticut, we have acquired an electrical contractor (now ATP Electric LLC), several alarm companies and a security integrator (enterprise keyless entry and CCTV). We continue to look for acquisition opportunities in Connecticut and Florida.
Four years ago, a childhood friend and I acquired a Servpro Franchise in the South Shore of Massachusetts. We are in the process of acquiring additional franchises within the Servpro network.
In 2025, I look forward to getting rid of distractions so I can focus even more on my family and my businesses.
