Senior Consultant
I think I have the best career in the world. It seems hard to believe that I started in this industry about 17 years ago, but when it doesn’t feel like work, the time does seem to fly by you. Before becoming a financial advisor, I founded a couple of restaurants in DC with close friends of mine. That experience has given me a unique insight to the struggles and successes of business owners. For me, that’s what is so rewarding about this career: helping hardworking individuals and businesses achieve their financial goals.
