“I truly enjoy bringing people and businesses together to help each other and to benefit the greater community,” said Casale. “The financial planning industry has afforded me the opportunity to collaborate with so many wonderful people in various industries and the ability to connect people in need with someone who can help. MonarchCare is a remarkable organization and I am honored to receive this award, which was voted on by my peers.”
