How I Arrived at Ritholtz

“I’ve been in the financial world for over a decade, beginning with my fellow Chicago colleagues in a small independent firm here in Chicago. After admiring RWM for a long time, we had the chance to meet the gang when they were in town, and the rest is history. It didn’t take long to turn that meeting into the opening of RWM Chicago. Working at a growing firm with like-minded people makes coming to work every day equally fun and rewarding.”

Favorite Part Of The Job

“The best part of my job is the people I work with – both my colleagues and our clients. They have become a second family to me and make coming to work so rewarding.”

When I'm Not Working

“My family and I are very passionate about animal rescue and love spending time with our rescue dog, Buddy, and assisting the animal rescue community in the Chicagoland area. We also love gardening, cooking, and traveling to new places to explore new cultures and cuisine.”
