Why did you choose this profession?

“This career allows me to combine my love of finance, economics, and business with a strong desire to help others. It’s the perfect culmination of my values and aspirations. Having the opportunity to make a profoundly positive difference in the lives of our clients and their families is incredibly fulfilling.”

What’s the best career advice you’ve received or given?

“Don’t be afraid to fail—failure is one of the best ways to learn. And no matter what, maintain a great attitude and work harder than anyone else around you. Those two things will take you farther than any shortcut ever could.”

How do you spend your time outside the office?

“My family comes first. I’ve been married to my wife for over 30 years, and we have three wonderful children. We love spending time outdoors, whether it’s on our boat at the lake, camping, or exploring new places together. That connection to nature and family fuels everything I do.”
