In 1986, G. Scott Diddel and his father, Andrew Diddel, CFO of an established benefits group, combined their business experience to create Diddel & Diddel, Wealth Accumulation Strategies. Their goal was to coach individuals, families and small business owners how to: "keep more of what they earn". The D&D "Values-Based Blueprint for Success" goal is still at the core of the Diddel & Diddel financial strategies twenty five years since the founding of the company. 

Prior to founding the company, Scott attended The Dalton School, then graduated with a B.A. from Bowdoin College in Maine. He continued MBA and M.Ed. studies at Columbia University Teacher’s College. Scott dedicated six years of his early career to teaching and coaching in the preparatory schools. He was the Director of the Middle School, languages teacher, Director of the Outing Club, and coached varsity level: soccer, ski-racing and tennis, at the Wilbraham-Monson Academy in Massachusetts. Thereafter, the Riverdale Country-Day School in New York offered Scott the position as Director of Student Activities, language teacher, and tennis coach. After six years of classroom teaching, Scott decided to pursue his passion for cultural education and adventure travel for students.  He founded DownHill Spokers Bicycle-Venture Tours, which became a successful international bicycling touring company over the next decade. Thousands of riders rode the back-roads of the world's most magnificent landscapes.  During that period, Scott aka "Dr. Spoke" & the "Biking Viking" established the DHS Bicycle Touring Center and world-class retail bicycle outlet in New York City.

 Scott's career as a personal financial coach in the investment services industry began with the MassMutual Co. in 1985. He was honored and recognized as a top producer both regionally and nationally. In 1991, Diddel & Diddel began a relationship with The Guardian and Guardian Investor Services, Inc. This association lasted until 1996 at which time Scott became an independent broker, moving the Diddel & Diddel operations to The BoatHouse at Stamford Landing, where the firm has been based since. The Diddel & Diddel team consists of five experienced staff to include career financial professionals. They are a dedicated client services team  covering all areas within the financial services industry. The client at Diddel & Diddel is treated as the CEO, while the D&D team serves as the "Personal-Chief-Financial-Officer" for the prescribed strategy.
