First job and lesson learned?
“My first job was as a teenager working at Sonic. Though it was a humbling experience, it was a great hands-on foreshadowing of my career in the beverage industry.”
Career dream as a child
“From a young teenager I had always wanted to work in the wealth management space — as life progressed and I’ve grown, I learned that the most fulfilling job there could possibly be is the full-time job of being a father.”
Professional inspiration
“My greatest inspiration is my wife and children, who motivate me in my professional life and everywhere else. Second to that is my grandfather, Joe, and my father, Scott — their commitment to fostering life-long relationships and growing businesses has never left me.”
