What Do You Enjoy Most About Your Job?
I enjoy building strong relationships with the families I’ve had the privilege to work with. As advisors, we are there through life’s ups and downs. It’s rewarding to help clients prepare a plan to navigate difficult or uncertain times, and then celebrate their success when they do achieve their financial goals and the lifestyle they ultimately want to live.
What Do You Enjoy Most About Working at KARWA?
What immediately stands out is the collaborative environment, high level of professionalism, expertise and attention to detail. I appreciate the open communication, direct access to subject matter experts, and a culture where everyone is willing to do what is necessary to help our clients and employees succeed.
What Are You Involved in Outside of Work?
I spend much of my free time with my wife, Beth, and our dog, Charlie, exploring the Bay Area. I am generally curious and like to dive into new hobbies to learn how things work. This has led to a wide variety of hobbies, ranging from astrophotography to making my own hot sauce. On the weekends, I often make pasta from scratch or host BBQ dinners for friends and family. I’m also an avid golfer and try to combine golf and photography, whenever possible.
