What Do You Enjoy Most About Your Job?
My favorite part of this job is definitely the people. I’ve had the pleasure of working with some great teams and have made many friends along the way. I also enjoy partnering with my institutional clients and consultants to help them reach their financial goals.
What Do You Enjoy Most About Working at KAR?
My favorite part of working at KAR is all the familiar faces I get to reconnect with in the new role.
What Are You Involved in Outside of Work?
Given the demands of the job, I try to spend as much of my free time outside of work with my family. Much of what we do revolves around sports. I’ve coached both of my kids’ baseball and softball teams over the years, and I currently coach my son’s basketball team as well. When we’re not playing sports, you can usually find us cheering on the Cubs, Bears, Blackhawks and Indiana Hoosiers!
