Why did you get into wealth management?
I was drawn to wealth management because of its ability to create meaningful, lasting impact in people's lives. Coming from a family who moved to the U.S. with little to no money, I developed a deep appreciation for the importance of wealth management and financial responsibility. I believe financial planning is about more than numbers; it's about helping people make confident decisions, navigate life's transitions, and build a future aligned with their values.
What do you enjoy most about the work you do for SteelPeak clients?
I enjoy developing authentic relationships and helping advisors and clients connect their financial decisions to their desired outcomes and lives they want to live. I value the opportunity to learn each client's story, understand what matters most to them, and help create a path toward their goals. I believe trust, transparency, and consistent communication are the foundation of every successful relationship. Whether meeting virtually or in person, I strive to create an experience where advisors and clients feel heard, informed, and confident about their financial future.
What do you love to do outside of work?
Outside of work, I enjoy weightlifting, staying active, and am a huge sports fan, cheering for the Dodgers, Lakers, and Rams. Most of all, I enjoy spending time with my wife, Febe, and our two young boys, Elias and Arlo, and our dog, Herkie – creating lasting memories through family adventures and everyday moments.
What is your favorite book or quote?
I’m not sure who said this, but one of my favorite quotes is “If you do the right things, the right things will happen.” I believe that consistent effort, strong relationships, and doing right by others naturally lead to positive outcomes over time.
