About Me:
I live in Dublin with my wife, Megan, our two children, Luca and Olivia, and our spoiled golden retriever. Much of our time outside of work is spent keeping up with the kids and their many activities. As a family, we enjoy spending time outdoors by taking long walks, going for bike rides, playing golf, traveling, and escaping to the lake.

In addition to home life, giving back to the community is important to me. I currently serve with the Dublin AM Rotary Club. I’m also a member of the CFA Society of Columbus and the Financial Planning Association of Central Ohio.
