How I Arrived at Ritholtz

After starting my career in public accounting, I decided that I wanted to help families grow and manage their money. Around the same time, I came across Michael Batnick’s blog. For years, I was an avid consumer of the content that the RWM team was producing. I am confident that I learned more reading RWM blogs than I did in my education or credentials studies. When the opportunity presented itself to be a part of a group that I admired for so long, it was an easy decision.

Favorite Part Of The Job

I enjoy helping people solve problems. Specific to my role, have found that tax planning is one aspect of the financial planning process that many clients are mystified by. I find no greater joy in my work than providing a clear and concise tax solution that benefits my clients.

When I'm Not Working

I live outside of Philadelphia with my wife, Katie. We love exploring the city, specifically the dining scene. You can also find me on the basketball court, cooking, or enjoying a classic movie.
