What led you to your career?

My father started our company in the mid-90s, so I grew up around the financial services industry. I am the second generation continuing that legacy. Being a wealth adviser allows me to use those strengths in a meaningful way while helping clients work toward their goals.

What has been your greatest professional achievement?

Earning my Certified Financial Planner designation and being promoted to president of our company. It is an honor to lead a business that my family and colleagues have worked hard to build, while also guiding its future growth.

What would you like to give back to your community?

I hope to continue helping individuals and families be good stewards of their hard work and wealth accumulation. I will continue my volunteer service, board involvement and community engagement.

What do you wish your younger self had known when you started on this path?

I would tell my younger self to stay committed, keep learning and understand that credibility is built over time.

What is your greatest hope for Springfield?

I hope we continue to support local businesses, encourage growth and create an environment where people want to raise their families and build meaningful careers.
