He has held various positions in finance and institutional asset management at several banks for over 50 years. Ferrone started in banking as a teller and worked as a credit analyst, commercial lender, merger and acquisitions specialist, investment banker and institutional asset management sales.
He is currently a Vice President, Senior Relationship Manager, Commercial Lender at M&T Bank. Ferrone is an avid Giants fan and community advocate. He most recently served as president of the Seaside Heights Property Owners Association, a role he resigned to become a councilman.
