From an early age, I was captivated by the world of investing, tracking stocks in the Saturday morning paper at just eight years old. By thirteen, I had opened my first investment account, buying and selling stocks independently. Although I initially considered a career in hospitality, working at a hotel front desk and managing a restaurant taught me that while the industry is vibrant, it lacked the lasting impact I sought. Transitioning to financial planning allowed me to merge my passion for investing with the meaningful, long-lasting difference I wanted to make in people's lives.

I thrive on the opportunity to stretch, grow, and build -- both personally and professionally. If you ever come into my office or meet me on Zoom, you will see my personal life ethos hanging on my wall: "In Order To Make Progress In Life, You Need To Become Comfortable With Being Uncomfortable". There's no greater satisfaction than hearing from a client how something I did positively impacted them or their family. My love for teaching and educating others fuels my work with a variety of clients, focusing on financial planning and wealth management strategies. I pride myself on having a network of knowledgeable professionals for any need. If I don't have the right connection, I am dedicated to finding one in order to make sure that all of my clients' needs are addressed. As I guide and build the overall practice of Steerpath Wealth, I am committed to delivering value that extends beyond investments, focusing on cultivating collaborative, long-lasting relationships with my clients.

A native of Annapolis, MD, my high school years included teaching special needs children how to sail -- a rewarding experience that instilled in me the joy of helping others learn and grow. In the present day, I enjoy spending time with my wife, Michelle, and our two sons, Jesse and Blake. In my free time, I enjoy reading, watching movies, traveling, and teaching my children how to play sports. I also hope to return to sailing as a hobby in the future.
