I am a CFP® professional and have been in the industry for almost ten years. I started my adult life in education, spending ten years in outdoor education and teaching middle school social studies. After a major bout of burnout I stumbled into this career and despite having a deep apprehension around the financial services industry I fell in love with the long term relationships I could build with my clients.

My wife is a PA who works in the ED and runs her own mental health clinic so I am intimately aware of the stress that medical professionals feel throughout their careers which is why I focus so much on burnout. It is better to have a long happy career than a short stressful one.

In my free time I am usually playing with my two dogs, riding my bike(s), skiing, cooking, or spending time in the woods.
