Q & A

Q:

How would you describe your best day doing what you do?

My best days are those in which I have a lot of interactions with clients, colleagues, and friends and have the opportunity to listen, share perspectives, and provide peace of mind. These are typically the days that fuel me and make me a better husband and father at home.

Who inspired you to pursue your career in financial management? How?

A former coach. I remember watching him play, then he coached me, then he hired me, and he still inspires me. He is the kind of person that you always want to spend more time with and hope that people feel the same way about you. His energy, dynamic personality, and empathy are only a few of his gifts.

What kind of clients work best for you?

Small business owners, executives, and the millionaires next door that value advice and time.
