Hello,

Broccoli Associates is a trading company founded out of necessity and fed by a stubborn will to succeed. In May of 1993 after a series of unfortunate events, my father and his two brothers were left with little choice but to close the meat processing plant in our home city of Utica, NY that provided for our families and the families of over 100 employees.

I found myself at home with no college education, no money, a wife, 2- year-old son and another on the way – talk about pressure! It was then I decided to bet on myself and open my own brokerage firm. In 1999 I received my first call from the Food Bank of Central New York.
