Your Life Journey

Founded in 2021, First Team Financial is more than just a financial services firm—it's a community where clients become part of the team. Our founder, Scott Konwinski, is honored to lead this firm with the same values of honesty, integrity, and hard work that have guided him throughout his life and career.

A Legacy of Service

Many years before establishing First Team Financial, Scott proudly served with the 1st Cavalry Division of the US Army. Known as America's 1st Team, Scott's time in the Army, especially during Desert Storm, profoundly shaped who he is today. He learned that being part of an exceptional team is both an incredible experience and a tremendous honor. We strive to bring this sense of camaraderie and commitment to our clients every day.

Client-Centric Approach

Throughout Scott's career as a financial advisor, he has always prioritized clients' needs over sales goals. At First Team Financial, we believe in building long-term relationships based on trust and mutual respect. Our mission is to meet clients where they are, understand their unique financial situations, and work collaboratively to develop a plan that helps them pursue their goals.

Who You’ll Be Working With

Scott C. KonwinskiPresident & Financial Advisor

I proudly served in the Army and was deployed for both Desert Shield and Desert Storm. Some of my best friends are the men I served with in combat, and we stay in touch to this day. The incredible leaders I served under and the Soldiers I stood shoulder to shoulder with have had a huge influence on how I run my business. I don't see myself and my clients on opposite sides of the table; we're on the same team. 

My interest in investing began in high school. In my previous career, I strived to build a reputation within the industry as someone clients could depend on. My investments were with Edward Jones at the time, and during a couple of conversations with my advisor, he suggested that I consider a career in the financial services industry. After some thought, I realized it was something I would enjoy and excel at.

Helping clients address their retirement goals is incredibly rewarding. Over the years, I've formed decades-long friendships with the people who value me with their investments. After nearly 20 years in business, I consider many of my clients friends.  

I live in Clarion, PA, with my wife Amy and our two dogs. We have three sons and three grandchildren. I love working with, training, and hunting over bird dogs. Amy and I have a 3-year-old German Wirehaired Pointer named Millie and a 5-month-old Deutsch Drahthaar named Willa. We have a hunting camp in Northern Michigan and enjoy traveling, especially to see our youngest two sons in North Carolina.

I have also been actively involved in my community. I volunteered with German Shorthair Rescue of PA for several years, served on the school board of the parochial school when my boys attended and helped coach them when they played youth hockey.
