  • What do you enjoy most about wealth management?

    The unique combination relationship building and problem solving that comes with along with financial plan development. Providing value, and comfort, to clients is incredibly gratifying.

  • What qualities of yours make you best suited to what you do?

    My passion for helping people understand, plan for, and ultimately achieve their goals folds right into what we do here at Inspirion. My analytical and process oriented skill-set will hopefully help as well.

  • What do you love most about being part of Inspirion?

    The singular focus on doing what is best for the client. With everyone aligned on the same goal, it removes any ambiguity or bias around decision making.


    Working with my Dad and my brothers is pretty cool, as well.

  • What do you enjoy doing outside of work?

    Playing, watching*, and reading about sports. 


    *"Enjoying" watching Chicago sports teams is admittedly a stretch…but I will unfortunately still be doing it.

  • What personal accomplishments are you most proud of?

    Winning the physical education department award (gym class MVP) as a high school senior. Convincing my wife, Emma, to marry me is a very close 2nd.
