Personal Thoughts

I have two main passions in life: learning and teaching. The field of investments and wealth management intersect these two passions perfectly. In a field with constant change, I am continuously challenged to stay ahead of the industry and apply that information to specific situations to help clients achieve their life goals.

RCG’s evidence-based investment process is ideal for my skillset. We constantly look for ways to improve our clients’ outcomes, as opposed to predicting which stock (or fund manager) might have “just the right touch” this year. “Good enough never is” is one of my guiding principles, and something that RCG embodies in our approach to serving our clients and community.

Lastly, I enjoy learning from my clients and their successes. While I’m helping them to reach their financial goals, they’re giving me great insight into building a meaningful career.
