Baseball was the thread that ran through most of my early life. It took me from the University of South Florida, to Eckerd College, then to the University of South Florida, and finally to the University of Tampa, where I was part of a Division II National Championship team. Competitive athletics teaches you things that do not show up in a curriculum. Preparation, patience, the ability to read a situation and adjust. Those habits followed me off the field and into this career.

My academic background is an unusual one for a financial advisor. I studied Molecular Biology at Eckerd before pursuing my MBA at the University of Tampa, which I completed in 2024. The science training made me comfortable with complexity and precise in how I work through it. The business education gave that instinct a practical direction. I also hold my Series 65 and Life, Health, and Variable Annuity licenses, and my focus centers on asset management and tax-efficient financial planning for individuals building toward and living through retirement.

What I find most compelling about this work is how different every client's situation actually is. The same goal, approached by ten different people, produces ten completely different conversations. I never get tired of that.

I am also candid with clients about where I am in my career, because I think it matters. I am early. That means the relationships I start today are ones I expect to carry forward for decades, through every stage of a client's financial life.

My wife Delaney and I married in November 2024 and live in South Tampa with our golden retriever, Finley. We attend Christ the King Catholic Church, a community we both value deeply. When I am not working, I am usually reading, cooking, or at the climbing gym, already planning a trip out west where the terrain is a little more cooperative.
