Why did you choose your profession?

From an early age, I was interested in money and investing.  My Dad talked with me about the stock market and we would track the stocks he owned in the newspaper on the weekends.  When I was a senior in high school, I had the opportunity to take a personal finance class at a local college.  I really enjoyed it and knew from that point, I wanted to become a financial planner.  I was very lucky to get connected with John Hurlow and start an internship with the firm during my sophomore year of college.  I was even more lucky that he offered me a full-time job after graduation.  I’ve been here ever since!

What is your favorite thing about being part of the Hurlow team?

I love being a part of a team that cares so much about our clients and each other.  We are all 100% focused on our mission of providing our clients with clarity, confidence and comfort.  Everyone on the team has great respect for each other, a passion for continuous learning, and cares deeply about providing our clients with great service and advice.

What causes are you passionate about?

I’m very passionate about promoting financial literacy in our community.  I believe that all children would benefit from learning more real-life skills, such as how to deal with money, from an early age.  I’ve been involved with Junior Achievement of Central Indiana for many years, serving as a board member and volunteer.  Junior Achievement’s mission is to empower children to own their future success through hands-on learning opportunities that promote financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and work-readiness.

What do you love to do outside of work?

When I’m not at work, I love spending time with my wife Katie, our children, and our dog Reese. I also enjoy traveling, watching/ attending Indy-car races, driving on my racing simulator, and building things/ working around the house.

What is a fun fact about you?

I studied and worked abroad in Sydney, Australia during my junior year of college.
