When you are not at the office, you can often be found doing what? Coaching my daughters in lacrosse, CrossFit, and spending time at my family farm in Pennsylvania.
What is your favorite quote and why? “Suck it up, buttercup.” It is something my girls have picked up playing their sports that I think serves everyone well sometimes.
For what in life do you feel most grateful? I am most grateful for my family – my wife, three daughters, and 2 duck-chasing chocolate labs.
What is your most treasured memory? I fondly remember and cherish road trips with my father.
Where is your happy place? In the mountains in Pennsylvania.
What does true leadership mean to you? A true leader is someone who helps others become successful while also learning from the same people they are mentoring.
In another life, I would probably be: a pilot.
The best part of working for Acorn is: being surrounded by like-minded planners with a great support team.
One day, I would really like to: enjoy a long vacation with my family before my girls get too grown up.
