“I’ve always been curious about what drives people – their goals, their decisions, their values. Financial planning is a great way to help people connect those things into a plan that supports their future.”
After interning with Marshall Financial during the summer of 2024, Drew Hanson officially joined the team as an Associate Wealth Advisor following his graduation from Villanova University in 2025. With a degree in Finance and a minor in Psychology, Drew brings both analytical skill and a strong interest in human behavior to his work – allowing him to aim to understand clients’ financial goals and the emotional factors that often influence financial decision-making.
At Marshall, Drew supports our advisors in developing personalized financial plans, while continuing to grow his own technical expertise. He’s excited to begin studying for the CFP® exam and to dive deeper into the planning process, especially the relationship-building that helps clients feel truly supported. “During my internship, I was struck by how willing everyone was to help me learn,” he says. “It felt like a team from the very beginning.”
A Southampton native, Drew’s calm, thoughtful approach is balanced by a spirit of curiosity, especially when it comes to trying something new. Whether he’s experimenting with a recipe he’s never cooked before, teeing off on the golf course, or spending time drawing and painting, Drew brings creativity and focus to whatever he’s doing.
He also enjoys giving back and was an active volunteer with the Special Olympics during his time at Villanova. That sense of connection, whether through community service or one-on-one conversations, is something he aims to bring into his role at Marshall – contributing to a team that values collaboration, care, and striving to do what’s best for every client.
