I'm an Eagle Scout and former Sergeant in the United States Marine Corps. Both experiences taught me invaluable leadership skills and how to be a critical thinker. I'm currently a Senior Investment Officer within the public equity team at New York State Common Retirement Fund (NYSCRF). I help to oversee NYSCRF's public equity portfolio through both passive and active long-only public equity strategies. I also negotiate investment management fees, write investment guidelines, and evaluate Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG). In addition, I have presented comprehensive macro and market analysis to the NYSCRF investment staff as well as public audiences at various conferences. Since j
