The opportunity to work with such a diverse group of clients. Developing relationships and helping people with such a wide range of backgrounds achieve their goals is incredibly rewarding.
In a word, the relationships.
I love how firmly rooted the firm is in its mission—our clients are at the center of everything we do.
Working side-by-side with my Dad and brothers is a great perk.
Working side-by-side with my Dad and broth...just kidding.
Outside of a technical skill set rooted in financial analysis and process improvement, I think my time working in investor relations gives me a unique perspective on equity investing, particularly within the healthcare space.
I am curious—I love to learn and to understand the “why.” I like solving problems and finding ways to do things better. I also very much enjoy working in collaborative environments as part of a team. I think those characteristics fit well with our approach to financial planning. Ultimately, we work together with clients to find solutions.
Spending time with family and friends. If it ever happens, I imagine I'll enjoy downtime with my wife and kids. I love to stay active—exercising, playing golf or soccer, and traveling.
I am incredibly proud of and grateful for my wonderful wife and children.
