Celebrating Two Remarkable Retirements — Dan Poupore and Karen Champion!

October, 2025

We’re proud to honor the retirements of two outstanding team members at Upstate Wealth Consulting.

Karen Champion, affectionately known as “Mom,” has been our Cashiering & Office Coordinator and the heart of our office. Her kindness, care, and dedication have touched everyone she’s worked with. We wish her all the best in her well-deserved retirement.

Dan Poupore, a Financial Services Professional with 46 years of experience, is also retiring. His wisdom, professionalism, and commitment to clients have set a lasting standard for our firm.

As Dan transitions, his partners Mark Hodge and Jason Champion will continue to provide trusted financial guidance, supported by Erin Carter (315-734-3633, ecarter@financialguide.com).

Please join us in congratulating Karen and Dan on their incredible careers and the lasting impact they’ve made on our team and community.
