Anthony Black joined Bangor Wealth Management in 2024 as Director of New Business, bringing nearly two decades of experience in the financial services industry and a passion for building meaningful relationships. In his role, Anthony focuses on expanding the firm’s reach, developing strategic partnerships, and helping introduce more families and individuals to the planning philosophy that guides Bangor Wealth Management.

Throughout his career, Anthony has gained extensive experience across many areas of finance, from client service and relationship management to complex operational roles focused on compliance, risk management, and process improvement. This broad perspective allows him to understand both the client experience and the behind-the-scenes work required to deliver exceptional service. Anthony holds his FINRA Series 65 license (registered as a non-solicitor) as well as his Life and Health Insurance License.

A lifelong Maine resident, Anthony graduated from John Baptist Memorial High School before attending Husson University, where he earned his degree in Business Administration, graduating summa cum laude in 2013. He is also a graduate of the Bangor Region Leadership Institute (BRLI), Class of 2021, reflecting his continued commitment to professional growth and community leadership.

Outside of the office, Anthony’s greatest role is being a husband and father. He and his wife, Taylor, have been married for 11 years and live in Holden with their three children, Max, Elle, and Charlotte. Anthony enjoys coaching his children’s sports teams, spending time outdoors, playing golf, and creating memories with his family. Whether it’s an outdoor adventure or a simple night at home with pizza and a movie, Anthony believes the moments spent with family are the ones that matter most.

Taylor joined Bangor Wealth Management in May 2017 and serves as Director of Client Services, bringing a unique blend of financial experience, relationship-building, and communication expertise to the team. As the firm’s longest-tenured employee, Taylor has played an important role in helping shape the client experience and supporting the firm’s continued growth.

With a background in banking, including experience managing a banking center, Taylor understands the importance of serving clients with professionalism, compassion, and attention to detail. She earned her bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from Husson University in 2019 and is a graduate of the Bangor Region Leadership Institute (BRLI), Class of 2016.

In addition to her client service responsibilities, Taylor leads many of the firm’s marketing and communication efforts, including community outreach, brand development, scheduling, and client engagement initiatives. She is passionate about creating meaningful connections and ensuring that every interaction reflects the values at the heart of Bangor Wealth Management: education, empathy, and trust.

Outside of the office, Taylor is deeply committed to serving her community. In 2022, she joined the board of Empty Arms of Greater Bangor, where she served as Donations Chair, helping support families impacted by pregnancy and infant loss. She also hosts The Empty Arms Podcast, creating a space for honest conversations surrounding grief, loss, healing, and hope while connecting families and sharing stories that often go unheard.

Taylor’s passion for serving others extends beyond her professional and community work. Her family’s Golden Retriever, Zoe, is training to become a therapy dog, with the goal of bringing comfort and connection to those who need it most. 

Taylor is married to Anthony, Rod’s son, and together they are raising their three children, Max, Elle, and Charlotte. She also enjoys The family lives in Holden and enjoys spending time outdoors, reading, playing board games, exploring new adventures, and sharing Taylor’s homemade baked goods with family and friends.
