Hi, I'm Greg Young. I was born in Virginia and grew up splitting my time between Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and Virginia. I spent winters playing hockey and snowboarding, but spring and summer were when the Cape was like Heaven on Earth: golf, ponds, beaches, and hockey were five minutes away! Don’t forget New England pro sports!
After attending Bryant University, where I studied business management and psychology, I put my newly acquired degree to work by joining the world’s greatest Navy. I served onboard nuclear-powered submarines in the Engineering Department and was a Navy-qualified scuba diver. I found quick success by taking pride in my job and contributing to my team.
Sadly, my Navy endeavor came to an end after being diagnosed with two types of cancer and being medically retired. Just a couple weeks after my diagnoses (same day, different doctors, twice the fun) my wife Erin, a high school teacher, had our first daughter. Now, it was really time to put that degree to use.
I embarked on a new journey as a financial advisor with a major insurance provider and broker-dealer. My second daughter was born and our family became complete, and Disney trips ensued! While managing the planning and investments for my team, I continued my education and achieved the Certified Financial Planner® professional designation, Enrolled Agent, and Chartered Financial Counselor.
My education has taken me as high as earning my Master’s Degree in Advanced Financial Planning, concentrating in Taxation. My next educational journey is the pursuit of my Ph.D. so that I can be best equipped to communicate, educate, and create new, practical knowledge.

About our Firm
Our mission is to empower service-oriented professionals and families to achieve true wealth. We guide clients to optimize their financial lives providing confidence, fulfillment, and freedom to pursue their dreams.
As fiduciaries, our team at Ahead Full Wealth Management has a moral and legal obligation to do what’s in your best interest–every time. We are not transactional and don’t receive commissions of any kind, so there is no rush to sell you anything. We are committed to making sure every meeting has value.
Sometimes it helps to turn to someone with a financial compass who understands the nuances of wealth management. As experienced professionals, we value sharing our knowledge in a caring, accessible, and useful way.
Planning with us is a four step process that follows the tenets of appreciative financial planning:
1. DISCOVERY: An introductory meeting and discovery meetings to learn your strengths, successes, personal, and professional values. This gives us the opportunity to determine if we’re a good fit.
2. DREAM: Articulate your values and objectives to answer the “why” and “what are we trying to achieve” questions. We establish your time horizon and capacity, appetite, towards risks and your vision for your business, family, and future. We will identify goals and objectives to create an actionable strategy.
3. DESIGN: We’ll layout different options with their anticipated outcomes. We’ll establish action items and receive your feedback to help determine which course to take, then share timelines and metrics that empowers you to achieve your goals. We'll also build a policy with guidelines to keep your portfolio on track and manage emotions during the ups and downs.
4. DELIVERY: After you choose your plan, We'll periodically check in on your progress. This allows you to identify what’s working and what's not, re-balance the portfolio to within design confines. We'll adjust your strategy as-needed and communicate any progress to make sure you never get off course.
Once your course is set, we will continue to help you on your financial journey. If things change, we will help you adjust your course to align with your desired path. You’ll have ongoing access to our services for questions, to share in life’s joys and challenges, or to be a sounding board. We will go on the adventure with you.

Testimonials may not be representative of other clients’ experiences and do not guarantee future performance or success.
Wealthtender exists to help people discover trusted and authentic financial professionals and educators who may be a good fit based on their unique needs and circumstances.
Your honest reviews help people decide which financial professionals and educators may be best suited to their individual needs.
The majority of people trust reviews as much as personal recommendations, so what you write in your review should reflect your own opinion and experience.
Tips for Writing a Helpful Review
Be descriptive. Instead of just saying what you like or dislike, share why. What have you enjoyed most or least about your experience with the provider? Have they helped you overcome a difficult financial challenge or strengthened your knowledge about particular money matters? The more details, the better!
Be honest. Your rating and review should reflect your actual experience.
Stay relevant. Ensure your review is helpful to others by avoiding off-topic discussions or personal opinions not relevant to your direct experience.
Make your review easy to read. Reviews should be readable to others. Use proper grammar, avoid excessive capitalization or punctuation, and be sure to check your spelling.
Be yourself. Don’t post as, or pretend to be, someone else, and do not say you’re associated with a person or organization with which you are not.
Be nice. Don’t write abusive, hateful, threatening, or harassing content. Avoid personal threats, hate speech, obscenities, or inflammatory language.
Respect the privacy of others. Don’t post information that can be used to identify another individual or compromise their privacy.
