Developing close relationships with clients while helping them solve problems.

How should people think about their wealth?
Strategically and intentionally. We encourage clients to take a big-picture view of their wealth. While wealth can be helpful, it can also be harmful. Leaving a large sum to someone isn’t always the best answer. We challenge clients to be intentional with their giving and wealth transfer and think about their legacy — What is the legacy they want to leave? Who do they want to influence and how?
What do you love to do outside of work?
Spend time with my family and friends, spend time outdoors, be physically active.
What would you be doing if you weren't at Aspiriant?
Something that combines being physically active and being in nature. Maybe some kind of adventure guide.
What's the most influential book you've read and why?
"The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People," by Stephen Covey, taught me how to concentrate on the things that matter most to me.
