About Me

While I love math and Excel, creating a financial plan has to do with more than just the numbers on a spreadsheet. I enjoy breaking down personal finance and investing for clients and helping them understand the concepts that go into building their financial plan.

My wife and I love to travel around the U.S. and the globe, having visited countries on five of the seven continents and most of the 50 states. We’ve also lived in quite a few different places in the US due to moves with the Army, school, and work. We’re happy to call Columbus, Ohio home, but still enjoy traveling with our two sons and introducing them to different places and experiences around the US.
