Congratulations to Dr. Weimar Douoguih on creating a cutting-edge ACL repair to help patients recover quicker! “It is minimal trauma to the knee, since it’s located inside the knee joint, it’s more effective than an external knee brace and the innovative suture technique” says Dr. Douoguih.

A STRONG PA RTNERSHIP
First period. Freshman year. Study Hall. Ken Gibson as proctor. The conditions that existed when Pete Tiboris ’98 and Matt Waldman ’98 first met at MKA still resonate in their minds. Now 22 years later they have come together as Partners at Strongpoint Wealth Advisors, a financial planning practice that works with individuals and businesses across Peter Tiboris ’98 a number of disciplines including tax strategies, retirement and estate planning, insurance and investment management. The two became quick friends and played baseball under Ralph Pacifico when the team won a Parochial B North Championship. Waldman, a lefty pitcher, went on to play baseball at Columbia University and later professionally in Sweden, while Tiboris played tight end on the football team at Cornell. Tiboris started his career with Matthew Waldman ’98 Northwestern Mutual in 2002. His production is among the top in the country, and is a perennial member of the NM Forum and the industry acclaimed Million Dollar Round Table Top of the Table. He is a sought after speaker and commentator and has published several articles in the financial planning space. Pete went on to obtain his MBA from Fordham and Master in Science in Financial Services from the American College. In addition he has earned his Certified Financial Planner (CFP) certification among several others. He is an avid golfer and lives in Manhattan with his wife, Christy, and daughter, Dessa (1). Waldman began his career in the insurance investment space and transitioned into an advisory role in 2012. He was awarded the prestigious “Freshman 5” distinction as a Top 5 new producer nationally while with the MassMutual firm Lee, Nolan & Koroghlian. Matt received a Masters in Business from NYU and the Chartered Financial Consultant (ChFC) and Chartered Life Underwriter (CLU) designations from the American College. Matt is a racquet sport enthusiast and lives in Cedar Grove with his wife, Alyson (MKA’s Director of Admissions), and son, Archer (4).
