Growing up I had a front-row seat to the anxiety and angst financial insecurity causes. My family was middle class, maybe slightly below, and I knew from a young age that there had to be a better way. Couple that background with a fascination with the stock market, and the seeds of a future career in the finance industry were planted. But like any good story, there were a few surprises thrown in that sparked my passion and gave me a clear vision for how I could make a difference in others’ lives.
The First Steps
With a general idea of what I wanted to do with my life, I earned my bachelor’s degree from Adrian College, followed by an MBA from the University of Findlay. After graduation, I held meaningful roles within the fields of engineering, accounting, finance, and operations for larger corporations culminating in a role as CFO of a private equity company. I gained an incredible wealth of knowledge throughout my corporate career journey.
But (and here’s the surprise I hinted at earlier) my personal life changed drastically when my wife and I welcomed triplets into our family, followed closely by their younger sibling. My wife and I were both balancing demanding careers at the time and I quickly realized that time is precious. The time I was spending managing financial responsibilities was taking away from moments I wanted to enjoy with my family. Not to mention the financial anxiety that a transition of this magnitude created. I knew we weren’t alone in this, and I decided I wanted to use my skills and experience to help other families reach their goals and pursue financial security without it taking more time away from what they love.
