“I’ve always enjoyed working in the capital markets and finding ways to use them to help our clients succeed. One of my biggest enjoyments in my practice is interacting with clients and becoming familiar with the diverse backgrounds of the people we work with and understanding what their specific needs are. Getting to know them as well as we do really helps energize us in our work and help align our team’s extensive experience with our clients’ goals.
