How I Arrived At RWM

“My career began at a firm with a culture of commissions first, clients second. I quickly realized people needed a better standard of care. Luckily, I found Josh’s blog which is probably the leading reason I developed the passion that I now have for personal finance and investing. Finding Josh led to finding Barry, then Michael, and then Ben. All of whom unknowingly played a crucial role in the development of my career as an advisor. The proudest moment of which has been joining the Ritholtz team. After reading Josh’s book, I decided to send him an email that eventually landed me here.”

Favorite Part Of The Job

“I get to work with some amazing people, both clients and colleagues. I believe people deserve objectivity without compromise and couldn’t find that in the traditional brokerage space. I realized that not only did the people at RWM share the same values, but they carried themselves with an element of authenticity that is unparalleled in this industry.”

When I'm Not Working

“I have a healthy obsession with my career, so I spend a lot of time reading and learning as much as I can. Outside of that, I spend as much time with my family as possible. We travel, fish, cook Cajun and Italian dishes, and spend lots of time on the water.”
