As an architectural studies major, it was an elective Personal & Family Finance course which made me adjust my path. While completing my degree at the University of Missouri and after graduation, my career began through various internships and entry positions in the finance industry. Soon after arriving in Kansas City, I found Buttonwood’s role in families’ lives to fit perfectly with my passion. I currently live in the Waldo neighborhood of Kansas City with my wife Brooke, sons Dwyer and Graham, and golden retriever Leo. We enjoy local restaurants, exploring new places, and spend a lot of time cheering for the Chiefs, Royals, and Mizzou Tigers.
