How I Arrived at Ritholtz

After working in mental healthcare for several years, I made the decision to make a career change. I hustled to meet the requirements to become a CPA, working in the tax preparation industry starting at the very bottom as an intern. I worked my way to become a partner in a CPA firm, and realized that the model was not what I was looking for. Having following RWM for years, they announced they were looking to expand their tax team, and I jumped at the opportunity. I could not be more excited to be here.

Favorite Part Of The Job

Tax planning is a multilayered and extremely complex puzzle that can be molded and shaped into a a piece of art. Taking the pieces of someone’s puzzle and making something beautiful from it is the most satisfying thing I can imagine. Getting to do that as part of the RWM team is a genuine dream come true.

When I'm Not Working

When I am not working I am chasing my 3 year old daughter or probably burping my 2 month old. If I can find time after that to read or watch soccer, then I’m a happy man.
