Our Team

“I am the world’s oldest Millennial”, John says jokingly because he enjoys working with young professionals. The Nex|Gen brand is about building the next generation of financial professionals. With his years of industry involvement, he recognizes that client’s financial needs continue to grow, and different generations of consumers require a different approach to financial advice. Having his own kids in this age group sparks his desire to continue teaching the fundamentals of proper planning, combining that with the advances of technology provides him to give his clients the best of both worlds.

The birth of NexGen, “what if we had a team of financial professionals dedicated to working with other young professionals seeking financial advice?” Our NexGen team provides that experience. Our financial professionals are young advisors that are seeking a meaningful career in financial services and want to make a difference in people’s lives. I personally experienced the benefits of this career through teaching others financial education and applying it to my personal life. It brings me so much joy to mentor advisors and see them reach levels of success they didn’t think possible.

Hi, my name is Michael Rochford. I am 32 years old. I was born and raised in Sayreville, NJ where I still currently live. I graduated from Kean University with a bachelor’s degree in Business Management. I am a huge sports fan with my favorite teams being the Jets, Mets, Knicks, and Rangers. I played baseball and basketball throughout my childhood and into my teenage years. I love to be outside, whether its exercising, being at the beach, or taking my dog for walks. I also enjoy attending sporting events, spending time with my family and going on hikes. I was a waiter at The Cheesecake Factory for 9 years before getting into the Finance Industry. I have always had a strong passion for finance and am very pleased to have the opportunity to work in the industry.
