What do you enjoy most about your work?
I love that our work brings clarity and confidence to people navigating complexity. Many of our clients are juggling big responsibilities, and I get to be the person who helps them feel more organized, supported, and in control. I also enjoy being both a technical advisor and a sounding board, building meaningful relationships with clients who trust us with such an important part of their lives is incredibly rewarding.
What do you enjoy outside of the office?
Outside of work, you’ll usually find me on a trail somewhere in Colorado. I love hiking, backpacking, and trail running, and each summer I carve out time for a long multi-day trip off the grid. One of my proudest adventures was hiking the entire length of Colorado along the Continental Divide Trail. My perfect day would be waking up early in the mountains, setting out on a long trail with good weather, plenty of snacks, and no cell service – ending the day around a campfire with my family or under the stars.
Family is at the heart of everything for me. My wife, Kacey, and our two kids keep me grounded and laughing every day, whether it’s with sharp sarcasm or inside jokes only we’d understand. When I’m not on the trail or with family, I’m happy with simple pleasure – burritos (the bigger the better), a cold IPA from a local brewery, or time in Grand Lake and the backcountry of the Rockies. I’m also a sports fan – while I’ve always rooted for the Broncos, my loyalty now leans toward the Colorado School of Mines Cross Country and Track Team, where my son competes.
What is your greatest accomplishment?
Professionally, I’m proud of helping build a firm where both clients and our team feel valued and supported. Creating an environment where people want to grow and stay is something I take seriously. Personally, my greatest accomplishment is raising two incredible kids who are kind, curious, and motivated. That, and hiking the entire length of Colorado, is something I’ll never forget.
