From a young age, I learned the value of money from my Dad, a small business owner. He passed away when I was 11, leaving Mom to raise my older brother and me. What we could afford came up in conversation enough that I decided at age 13 to help my family make ends meet. I asked the vice principal of my middle school for a work permit, so I could get a job. He laughed and replied, "You don't need to work." I disagreed. By the time I was a senior in high school, I had two part time jobs, volunteered with autistic children and operated a small computer business out of my home, all while graduating with honors.

Years later, I received an accounting degree with honors from the University of Maryland, College Park. After an internship with KPMG, I joined a regional CPA firm to become an accounting professional. Then, I worked for Lockheed Martin, which brought me to Colorado, before becoming an adjunct instructor at Arapahoe Community College and a financial advisor with Edward Jones in 2015.

Currently, I reside in the Denver metro area with my wife, daughter, two dogs and a small flock of chickens. I hold a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional certification and I sit on the board of directors for Bona Vias, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit offering continuing adult education for financial well-being.
