How I Arrived at Ritholtz

“I met Josh and Kris back in 2015. A few things prevented me from joining the firm back then, but I always stayed in touch and followed their education and content as a fan. After reconnecting, the stars aligned and it was finally time to come on board and be a part of the RWM story. 10 years in the making!”

Favorite Part Of The Job

“As an athlete growing up, I always loved being part of a team. I bring this same mindset to the partnerships I form with clients. I love helping people make better decisions with their money. I also find that my clients have a ton of experience to share with me as I continue to grow as a husband, a parent and a professional.”

When I'm Not Working

“My wife Kiera and I live in Connecticut with our 2 kids, Leo and Aislin who usually goes by Aisy Rae. We also have 2 dogs named Moose and Pig, an Axolotl named Winston and 9 chickens. When I am not busy tending to the Zoo, I am a huge basketball fan having played a little bit in college. Until recently, I was the Boys Varsity Basketball Coach at Briarcliff High School for 10 years and eventually when Kiera gets sick of my dad jokes, I am sure I will find my way back to a sideline somewhere.”
