Q & A

What drew you to the Bay Area?

The opportunities for professional development and being closer to friends. A lot of the friends I have accumulated over my lifetime eventually returned or ended up in the Bay area in the present day. It was natural to want to spend more time with them while I still could.
What does “living your best Bay Area Life” mean to you?

It means being close to the ones you care about and who care about you. It means spending time together, making memories.
Discuss a personal accomplishment that you’re particularly proud of.

In recent memory, passing the CFP exam on first attempt was something I was happy about. It was a large weight lifted when I saw the results the day of. Honestly, it has been a bounty, as this led one thing to another and eventually where I am right now.
