Howard Sloan
Registered Principal | Wealth Manager
Howard was born and raised in East Meadow, New York, where his parents instilled in him the importance of saving and financial security. Having grown up hearing about the economic hardships his grandparents and parents endured during the Great Depression, that generational lesson resonated with Howard and shaped his passion for helping others save, invest, and build financial clarity for themselves and future generations.
That entrepreneurial spirit showed up even earlier. As a child, Howard delivered Newsday newspapers in East Meadow. After finishing school, he channeled that same drive into investing in the stock market. He became securities licensed in 1985 and began his career with a Northern Virginia start-up specializing in fixed income, where he quickly discovered his passion for helping others grow their wealth and pursue their financial goals.
That realization led him to affiliate with Private Ledger Financial Services, which would become Linsco/Private Ledger and ultimately LPL Financial. Howard has been recognized as a member of LPL’s Freedom Club since 1994 and has been part of LPL’s Director and Ascent Clubs since 2001, distinctions awarded to select advisors based on business success. His passion for the markets and helping others has carried through to the next generation. His son, Scott, shared that same drive, creating the multi-generational team of Howard and Scott today.
Outside the office, Howard remains a passionate music lover and sports fan. He grew up attending Yankees games with his father and supporting the New York Rangers and Knicks. He now embraces all the professional Washington, D.C. sports teams, as well as still supporting The Yankees and Rangers. He remains active in his community and believes strongly in giving back through his support of various nonprofit organizations
