Born and raised in New Hartford, he resided in Boston while attending Boston College’s Wallace E. Carroll School of Business Management.

Upon graduation, David was hired full time to assist veteran NorthWesternMutual agents transition their life insurance based clientele to include investments and retirement accounts.<\/p>\n

Several hours in traffic and dozens of parking tickets later, David returned home to his native Mohawk Valley in late 2001 to work at M. Griffith; the family business created by his grandfather in 1947. Working alongside his father provided David with tremendous insight into the financial services industry. There were several advisors at M. Griffith from which Dave gleaned valuable insight. Eventually, David’s entrepreneurial spirit and unique “wholistic” approach to financial planning inspired him to start his own firm: “DK Griffith & Company.”<\/p>\n

David holds several licenses including FINRA Series 7, 63, 24 & 65. David is also licensed to sell New York State Life, Accident, Health and Long Term Care Insurance. David is also a licensed tax-preparer and Notary Public.\u00a0 David specializes in applying his deep knowledge of financial management to assist clients in optimizing their wealth.<\/p>\n

Advisor Emeritus- Retired-<\/p>\n

\"KurtAboutPhoto\"Kurt F. Gruenwald worked with DK Griffith & Company for over 10 years before retiring in December 2019. Kurt keeps in touch and is sorely missed. He continues to manage his family’s real estate.\u00a0 Kurt’s family recently expanded as his daughter had twins, making 3 grandsons in total. We’ve tried coercing him to return to financial advising but he’s enjoying retirement too much.<\/p>\n
