How I Arrived at Ritholtz

“I first learned about RWM from listening to the Animal Spirits podcast, and got to know the firm better when my good friend and former teammate from Vanguard, Dan Baxter, joined the team. While we were catching up one day, he mentioned there might be an opening on the Trading and Research team, and I jumped at the opportunity. After visiting the office it was clear that RWM is really something special.”

Favorite Part Of The Job

“I’ve had the opportunity to see firsthand just how much of a difference personal finance decisions can make in people’s lives. Being part of an amazing team that truly has clients’ best interests at heart, and knowing that I have the opportunity every day to make our clients’ lives better, is my favorite part of the job.”

When I'm Not Working

“I am an avid rock climber! Primarily indoor bouldering, but I also love getting outdoors whenever I can, whether it’s climbing, hiking, or trying something new.”
