Talk to us Meet Carl
What do you enjoy most about wealth management?
Connecting the dots for clients and allowing them to enjoy the rewards of all their hard work.
What's the biggest challenge?
Overcoming the stigma of greed and conflicts of interest associated with financial services.
What do you love most about being part of Aspiriant?
Waking up every day and knowing I am a part of an organization that is dedicated to changing the perception of our entire industry.
What professional accomplishments are you most proud of?
Becoming an owner of Aspiriant and helping build it into a national firm. My ultimate goal is for the world to recognize Aspiriant as the model for how financial services firms should be owned and operated.
What quality of yours makes you best suited to do what you do?
My ability to take very complex issues and pull them out of the weeds so clients can understand them easily.
How should people think about their wealth?
They should think about the tangible impact it can have on their lives and not as some abstract number on a piece of paper or spreadsheet.
What would you be doing if you weren't working for Aspiriant?
I can't imagine doing anything else. If I weren't working for Aspiriant, I would not be working for another financial services firm.
