How I Arrived at Ritholtz

“I started watching “What Are Your Thoughts” in college and I instantly gravitated towards Ritholtz Wealth Management and the content put out. A couple years later I was listening to “Animal Spirits” and Michael mentioned an open Trader position. It seemed like the perfect opportunity for me and felt I must apply. I immediately sent in my information and soon after I joined RWM.”

Favorite Part Of The Job

“Helping our clients match their financial goals with the right investment philosophy and helping my colleagues make it a reality.”

When I'm Not Working

“I spend my time writing, reading, learning guitar, watching sports, and spending time with friends and family.”
