It’s the most wonderful time of the year!
No, I don’t mean the winter holidays – I’m talking about the start of football season, which has finally arrived! We have patiently waited over six months for tomorrow to mercifully bring the first game of the NFL season. The game that gathers families together (with beer and wings, or another favorite gameday food) in…
Home Sweet Home
At the beginning of June, my wife Deidre and I finally moved into our first home in Franklin! Our entire home buying process lasted approximately six months. This included hours searching through Zillow and MLS listings, spending every weekend at open houses, making offers on the homes we deemed worthy, and having quite a few…
Special Delivery
About a month ago while at my Nonna and Nonno’s house for Sunday dinner, Nonno approached me with a very specific request; to order him an electronic meat slicer.

What a week my wife Deidre and I had visiting beautiful southern California. We were in town for one of my cousin’s weddings and decided to go the week leading up to the wedding as a small vacation. Staying at my grandparent’s house in Vista, we certainly made the most of our time. Here is…

The day has finally come and gone, culminating with my marriage to my beautiful (now) wife, Deidre. We could not have asked for a better ceremony and reception for our wedding. It was an amazing day on which we got to express our love for one another in front of all our family and close…
Dante Coppola, CFP®!!
I did it! I have climbed the mountain and achieved the pinnacle of my profession. I’m referring to me acquiring the Certified Financial Planner™ designation, of course. My CFP® path took almost four months of intense studying, two whole years of educational courses, course exams, and a comprehensive project, but I finally passed the CFP…
From Financial Planning To Wedding Planning
I’m sure all of you are getting tired and bored of us constantly talking about our weddings by now. However, it is one of my biggest life events (so far) and has taken up a lot of my time and planning in the last nine months. So, here’s another, slightly different, article about planning for…
Introduction to Dante Coppola
The day has finally come. It is my time to adorn the mantle that my coworkers have done before me – joining the personal article write up rotation. To me, this is one of the final initiations as a member of the Napier Financial team. I am typically not one to drone on and on…
