Joseph T. Portello was born on Long Island, New York, where the East Coast’s electric rhythm first sparked his passion for money and business, a drive deeply rooted in his proud Italian-American heritage.

At 16, his family relocated to Las Vegas, trading suburban roots for the desert’s neon pulse, a move that stoked his entrepreneurial spirit. He sharpened his hustle in restaurants, excelling in every role—from the chaotic back-of-house to the polished front—building a work ethic as resilient as his ambitions.

In 2016, his love for New York pulled him back to his home state, where he continues to thrive. Over the past 11 years in the insurance and advisory industry, Joseph has built a thriving practice, serving a loyal clientele—mostly law enforcement and business owners—with a gift for helping people create, plan, and follow through on their financial dreams.

When he’s not shaping futures, he’s hitting the gym, trading punches in the boxing ring, or savoring a cigar’s slow burn—yet it’s time with his two beautiful daughters and family that remains the heart of his vibrant life.
