About me
I was born at Magee hospital and have been a lifelong Pittsburgher. I lived in Baldwin, before moving to Edgewood and then the north hills, where I spent the majority of my youth. I finally returned to the south hills after graduating college, and I now live in Castle Shannon.
I graduated Summa cum Laude from Dickinson College with a classical education, and am an active member of the Phi Beta Kappa honor society. During my time at Dickinson, I fell in love with my partner Sophia, who is currently studying at Shippensburg University to be an LCSW. During my college years, I also fell in love with the small-town life, and you can often find me in Carlisle, PA with Sophia when I am not in the office, and I have ambitions of eventually splitting my practice between Pittsburgh and Carlisle.
Outside of work, I love working with my hands. I am a fine carpenter and enjoy working at my lathe and restoring antique furniture. I also enjoy reading, hiking and camping, and sailing my vintage Sunfish sailboat on the Chesapeake Bay and at Lake Arthur.
My rigorous education at Dickinson has turned me into a lifelong learner. This means that when I am not meeting clients, I am constantly studying and reading in order to become a more knowledgeable professional for my clients. I am currently working towards my CFP designation, and am committed to being a lifelong learner, continuing to perfect my craft for as long as I work.
Lending a hand in my community.
As part of Northwestern Mutual, I'm proud to help accelerate the search for better childhood cancer treatments while supporting families undergoing treatment, and survivors from late effects. Here are some of the organizations we partner with:
Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer (ALSF)
ALSF funds cancer research, raises awareness, and supports the families of children with cancer. Since 2012, Northwestern Mutual, its employees, and financial professionals like me have donated more than $20 million to support ALSF and fund over 400,000 research hours.
Beads of Courage
Beads of Courage is an art-in-medicine program that helps kids with cancer tell their unique treatment story through colorful beads that are symbols of their courage.
Chesapeake Bay Foundation
The Chesapeake Bay Foundation preserves and restores the natural beauty of the Chesapeake Bay and educates about the millennia-long history of mankind's interaction with the bay.
Rivers of Steel Heritage Corporation
Rivers of Steel Heritage fosters community engagement with Pittsburgh's history through artistic and historical initiatives and through preservation of historic sites in the Pittsburgh area, Principally the Carrie Blast Furnaces.
How Northwestern Mutual helps you live the life you want.
When people feel better about their money, good things happen—they become more confident and feel more secure. For more than 160 years, Northwestern Mutual has helped people achieve the financial flexibility they need to live more and worry less.
Being a mutual company means Northwestern Mutual reports to its clients, not Wall Street. They don't believe in chasing fads or taking undue risk for short-term gains. Instead, they take a long-term approach—both in the way we help people plan to reach their goals, and in the way they do business. This has served their clients (and mine) well through all kinds of economic ups and downs, including wars, recessions, even the recent pandemic.
It's why I'm happy to be part of a company that's in it for the long-haul and prioritizes clients over profit.
