"Building a financial safety net is like fighting fire; it's about preparation, strategy, and having the right tools at hand."
Biography
Sean Koscho is a financial advisor with a passion for helping others – whether that’s in the office managing their wealth, on the field as a dedicated 10-year high school football coach, or in the line of duty. For the past decade, Sean served as a Firefighter/EMT with the Sarasota County Fire Department. Now retired from firefighting, he and his wife have relocated to Newmarket, New Hampshire, where he continues his work in financial planning.
Sean grew up in Pittsburgh, PA, and later attended Harvard University, finishing as a 3-year starter on the football team with a degree in Economics. Upon graduating, he spent 13 years on Wall Street, working for Merrill Lynch and Bank of America on their institutional Equity Derivative and Convertible Bond trading desks. With a growing family and a desire for a warmer climate, he moved to Sarasota, Florida.
After volunteering at their local elementary school and pursuing his passion for triathlons—ultimately competing in over 30 races, including 3 Ironmans—he decided to fulfill a childhood dream of becoming a firefighter. He attended Manatee Technical Institute for EMT training and St. Petersburg College Fire Academy for firefighting, serving with both Hillsborough County and Sarasota County Fire Departments.
Utilizing his insights as a 13-year Wall Street veteran and a former firefighter, Sean joined Base Wealth Management in February 2021. He focuses on helping clients navigate the financial concerns common to those approaching retirement—whether that means managing pensions, investing in Deferred Comp or DROP plans, or optimizing traditional retirement vehicles like IRAs, Roth accounts, Solo 401(k)s, or 529 college savings plans.
When Sean isn’t building financial plans for his clients, you can find him enjoying time with his family. His eldest son, Jack, graduated with a degree in Biomedical Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University and now works as a technology consultant for Deloitte. His younger son, Sam, graduated from Dartmouth College with a degree in Economics and works for Noble Environmental in Pittsburgh. His daughter, Sally, is starting her Junior year at the University of New Hampshire.
Sean has been married for 27 years to Suzanne, a professional photographer at Koscho Photography. When not staying fit through running or biking, Sean enjoys traveling with his wife and exploring their new home in New England.
