Q & A

  • What are your favorite pursuits outside of work?

    Coaching my daughter and son in sports (lacrosse and basketball). Skiing, mountain biking, fishing, cooking (really eating) and travel if there is ever any free time left over.
  • Discuss a solution you provided for a client that you’re extremely proud of.

    Inspired by the work we do with some of our large charitable non-profit clients, we created a philanthropy committee, known as Summitry Cares, which seeks to not only give back to the community in terms of time and volunteering hours, but also through monetary donations. We established a donor-advised fund and contribute a percentage of our annual profits to it. We donate half of the value annually to non-profits of our choosing and reinvest the other half in order for it to grow to become a larger endowment that will help fund more impactful giving in the future.
  • Three words to describe the Bay Area
