 Jason S. Andrews • 34 • StamfordIn nominating him for “40 Under 40,” clients of Jason Andrews, a Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor and founding member of The Cutler & Andrews Financial Group at Wells Fargo Advisors in Old Greenwich, cite his integrity, work ethic and client care. Prior to joining Wells Fargo, he was vice president–investments at UBS Financial Services, where he developed retirement-planning strategies for real estate professionals. In addition to working one-on-one with clients, he lectures on finance and investing. His message? With so much information out there—he deplores “information overload” that creates “paralysis by analysis”—he’s committed to doing his part to demystify financial planning for the layperson. |

Her efforts have helped CREC to significantly narrow the achievement gap in the region; more than 95 percent of CREC magnet school students graduating high school now go on to higher education.

When Sena isn’t creating digital and traditional marketing campaigns and products for national clients such as Ovation Guitars and Lady Gaga, he’s volunteering with New Haven United Way, Greater New Haven Community Foundation, ACES and other charities. |

 Jay N. Hershman • 35 • CheshireReal estate attorney Jay Hershman was a shoo-in for this honor. In the words of his partner, Donald S. Baillie, what sets him apart is his dedication, not only to his clients—“working long hours and always going above and beyond to make sure their needs are being met”—but to his community. Jay has been a devoted member of the Cheshire Volunteer Fire Department since he was 16, “responding to fire calls at all hours of the day and night—weekends and holidays included.” He has risen to the rank of assistant chief, and is president of the Waterbury Area Fire Chiefs Association. |
