Personal

I am a husband and a father to 4 wonderful girls as well as one female Yorkshire Terrier (my home does not have a shortage of estrogen). Thus, I spend a majority of my personal time with them. You can find me on most evening and weekends either helping my daughters practice for their particular sport, or cheering them on from the sidelines. I enjoy staying active in sports and the great outdoors (great movie!). My family and I spend most of our vacations near beaches, mountains, or streams.  We have always enjoyed the white sands on the gulf of Mexico in addition to our usual camping and fishing (i.e. Montauk State Park, which I have frequented since my childhood).

Professional

I graduated from Saint Louis University with a degree in economics and worked as a valuation consultant (fancy title for determined the market value of small privately held companies) while obtaining my degree.  I officially became a financial advisor in 2006 (just before "The Great Recession"...wonderful timing on my part).  I believe that my educational background in economics, coupled with my time as valuation consultant and more than a decade of experience as a financial advisor, provides a unique ability to assist a wide variety of people.
