EXPERTISE: Ultra-High-Net-Worth Tax Planning, Equity Compensation, Estate Planning

  • Favorite thing about my job: Turning client panic into client relief. Few things are more satisfying than someone coming in stressed about taxes and leaving realizing it’s not nearly as bad as they thought.
  • What is your go-to karaoke song? Uptown Girl by Billy Joel
  • Desert Island Book: “Can’t Hurt Me” by David Goggins. Perfect mindset when you’re stuck on an island with no Wi-Fi and no excuses!
  • Favorite movie quote: “Get to the chopper!” – Arnold Schwarzenegger in Predator
  • Favorite way to celebrate your birthday: My favorite way to celebrate my birthday is going to Applebee’s and pretending I don’t want any attention right before the staff appears out of nowhere, surrounds me, and sings the loudest, most aggressive version of “Happy Birthday” ever performed. There’s nothing quite like making intense eye contact with strangers while holding a complimentary dessert and questioning every life decision that led to that moment!
