I’m a native of upstate New York, but I’ve called Michigan home since 2006. My wife Nancy and I love spending time exploring northern Michigan with our two daughters, Caroline and Charlotte. When I’m not at work, I enjoy playing golf, traveling, cooking, and making pizzas from scratch in my outdoor pizza oven. I’m also a die-hard fan of St. Bonaventure basketball and the New York Mets.

What gets me out of bed in the morning—besides a 6 a.m. tee time—is the chance to work with an amazing group of people. I’ve always loved being part of a team—something that started with playing sports growing up. There’s something special about seeing different people, with different strengths, all working toward a common goal. Watching that come together—and helping to make it happen—is one of the most fulfilling parts of what I do. Seeing our team grow, our office expand, and still maintaining the same culture we had when there were just seven of us is what makes this work so rewarding.

I joined the firm in 2020 and currently serve as Chief Operating Officer and Chief Compliance Officer. My role spans across strategic planning, finances, compliance, technology, and HR—basically, if it keeps the firm running, I’m probably involved. I also lead our client service and operations teams and manage all hiring and onboarding efforts.

With over 20 years of industry experience, I’ve worked in institutional asset management, financial software, and most recently as Director of Operations for another independent investment advisory firm here in Southeast Michigan. I earned my bachelor’s degree from St. Bonaventure University and an M.S. in Finance from Walsh College.
