Personal Thoughts

I was born and raised in a suburb of St. Louis alongside of my three siblings by two hardworking parents who balanced a tight family budget by sacrificing many of their own wants so we could enjoy the thing we loved the most—playing competitive travel hockey. As I grew older, I became more aware of the sacrifices my parents were making, so I began mowing lawns at 13 and got my first job at the hockey rink at 15 so I didn’t have to rely on my parents as much for hockey equipment and spending cash. Throughout the rest of high school, I grew more and more interested in personal finance as I made my own money and helped pay my own bills.

After high school, I went on to become the first in my family to attend college. While my family couldn’t afford to pay for college, my parents always loaded me up with tons of groceries, gas money, and a little extra spending cash so I could focus on school and getting involved in leadership opportunities on campus. My parents’ generosity, willingness, and ability to live on a tight family budget left an everlasting impression on my work ethic, views on money, and my career aspirations to become a wealth advisor and help others make the most of their wealth.
