Summary

Robert DeBlasio began his professional career with firsthand experience in the entertainment industry, where he developed communication and presentation skills that would later shape his success in finance. His first television appearance was in 1996 on an episode of Law & Order, where he played the role of Saleri. His natural ability in front of the camera led to several national commercial appearances, making him recognizable to audiences throughout the United States. He also performed on stage in the Broadway production Over the River and Through the Woods by Joe DiPietro. These early experiences instilled in him confidence, discipline, and clear communication, qualities that would become the foundation of his professional approach in later years.

After his time in entertainment, he transitioned into the financial industry, driven by a genuine desire to help people build stability and security in their economic lives. His first position was at David Lerner Associates, where he specialized in fixed-income investments for clients nearing or in retirement. His commitment to simplifying financial concepts and focusing on client needs helped him advance to the position of Senior Vice President at Morgan Stanley. He continues to hold the same title at Wells Fargo Advisors. His work centers on capital preservation, retirement planning, and developing practical strategies that promote long-term financial confidence.

His process is methodical and client-focused. He begins by assessing income needs, identifying reliable income sources, reducing unnecessary risk, and creating systems to monitor progress. This structured approach enables clients to make informed decisions and feel more confident about their financial plans. His philosophy is rooted in listening first, explaining clearly, and thinking long-term, which enables him to build meaningful and lasting relationships with his clients.

In addition to his career in finance, he has successfully founded and operated several small businesses. Two were based in Manhattan, and three were based in Florida. Each venture provided valuable experience in customer service, staffing, cash flow management, and local marketing. These lessons have strengthened his ability to guide business owners with practical financial insight based on firsthand understanding.

His accomplishments have been recognized publicly. In 2025, he was featured in Forbes magazine, a distinction that reflected his commitment to professionalism and service. Family plays a vital role in his life. He and his wife, Patty, have been married for more than 20 years and have two children. Their daughter is an elite Olympic Taekwondo athlete, and their son, who will soon turn 13, adds energy and curiosity to their home. Family remains the center of his motivation and success.

For 30 years, his family has supported multiple sclerosis causes, inspired by his mother’s experience with the illness until her passing in June 2025. This long-term commitment has shaped his belief in the importance of practical care, thoughtful planning, and consistent community support. He continues to dedicate time to mentoring younger advisors and contributing to local business organizations. His training sessions focus on communication, financial literacy, and portfolio management. Known for his patience and reliability, he helps others grow through clarity and practical knowledge.

Outside of work, he enjoys skiing, traveling, exercising, and spending time with his family. He also finds enjoyment in caring for fish tanks and cooking at home. These personal interests bring balance and perspective to his life and work.

Robert DeBlasio measures success through long-term stability, trust, and the positive impact he creates for clients and colleagues. Living in Boca Raton, Florida, he remains actively engaged in the professional community, leveraging his expertise in entertainment, entrepreneurship, and finance to offer clear, consistent, and reliable guidance that empowers individuals to achieve their goals with confidence.
