How I Arrived at Ritholtz

“I first learned about RWM through one of my professors at MSU. After several amazing experiences with members of the team, I was drawn to how strongly their core values aligned with those of my own.”

Favorite Part Of The Job

“My favorite part of the job is the collaboration and positive energy. It’s clear that everyone genuinely cares about one another and doing what’s best for our clients. Being in an environment where people lift each other up makes coming to work something I look forward to.”

When I'm Not Working

“I love waterskiing, snow skiing, hunting, fishing, and lacrosse. When I’m not doing those things, I try to fill my weekends with new happenings in the city. As a lifelong Chicago sports fan, I never miss a chance to cheer on my teams, no matter how tough the season.”
