Print Story | Email Story
GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. — Berkshire Money Management (BMM), the full-service financial advising firm with offices in Dalton and Great Barrington, announced the expansion of its Great Barrington team with the addition of Airen Wadsworth as Front Office Coordinator. 
 
As the Front Office Coordinator, Airen is the first person to welcome guests to the new Great Barrington office at 72 Stockbridge Road. His goal is to help every client and visitor feel comfortable, at home, and part of the BMM culture. He will also support the firm with scheduling, data entry, and other vital tasks. 
 
Airen, a lifelong resident of Lee, earned his bachelor's degree in business administration from MCLA in 2018. 
 
Airen works with motocross athletes from around the world in his role as owner and CEO of Airtime Clothing. A motocross rider himself, Airen also enjoys spending time with family, friends, and his dogs, cats, horses, and goats.  
 
"Our decision to invest in a dedicated Front Office Coordinator in our Great Barrington office underscores our commitment to ensuring exceptional service and efficiency in all aspects of our business," said Natalie Wheeler, Berkshire Money Management's Chief Operating Officer. "Airen's proven ability to manage complex tasks and create a welcoming atmosphere aligns perfectly with our commitment to delivering top-notch service to our clients." 
 
Berkshire Money Management also thanks and bids farewell to their summer intern, Marlon Binns. 
 
Marlon, a graduate of Pittsfield High School, returns this month to the University of California where he is studying business administration with the aim of pursuing a career in wealth management, investment banking, or financial consulting. He joined the BMM team earlier this summer to learn through firsthand experience what it's like to work in the wealth management industry and what aspects he might enjoy most. 
 
During his time with BMM, Marlon assisted the team with a variety of tasks, attended meetings, and shadowed colleagues to learn the fundamentals of team operations and client services. Outside of his internship and studies, Marlon pursues illustration and fashion design, and enjoys golf, basketball, and hiking – especially at Runyon Canyon near Los Angeles or the Boulders here in the Berkshires.  
"Hosting interns is a great opportunity to not only support the development of upcoming financial advisors but also to ensure the relevance of BMM in the years to come. Adding fresh eyes helps to identify new technologies and ideas to connect with younger and more diverse clients," said Chief Operating Officer Natalie Wheeler. "Marlon challenged us to improve every time he asked, ‘why do you do it this way?' or, 'what does that mean?' If he didn't know the answer, our clients may not know either. We are grateful for his time with us and wish him the best as he returns to his studies."

State Closes Brookside Road Bridge

GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass.— Brookside Road bridge was closed today following a routine inspection by the MA Department of Transportation.
 
Town Public Works Superintendent Joe Aberdale said the DOT inspection report now requires further state review and that there is no information yet on a timeline for reopening. Brookside Road is located south of town and runs east to Brush Hill Road and Boardman Street.
    
Aberdale said load limits on the older, trestle bridge have been disregarded for some years by heavy vehicles. He said that usage has likely taken a toll on the span over the Housatonic River.
 
Southbound drivers heading to Brush Hill and the north end of Boardman Street will need to travel further south on Route 7 to Kellogg Road and then onto Boardman Street, heading north.
 
"We will keep residents informed as we learn more from the state DOT," said Aberdale.
