About Myself: I grew up in Wisconsin and was the first student from my High School to attend the University of Michigan.  While at Michigan, I studied Civil Engineering with a focus in Construction Management.  After working for a Detroit-based General Contractor for two years, I moved to Indianapolis and am a Senior Project Manager with Shiel Sexton.  My wife, Alesha (who also attended UM), and I live in Broad Ripple with our dog, Zoe.

About Myself: I am Financial Advisor at Baird and am passionate about empowering clients to take control of their financial lives with confidence. Another passion of mine is serving as a mental health advocate in various formal and informal ways. I am originally from Milwaukee, Wisconsin and was lucky to enough to follow my two older sisters in attending the University of Michigan. Ann Arbor is a very special place for me and puts a smile on my face every time I go back. I moved to Indianapolis back in 2020 and currently reside in Carmel.
Favorite Michigan Memory: While I have so many great memories, my favorite might be when the basketball team won their Final Four game to go the National Championship in 2018. After watching the game with all my friends at Scorekeepers, we ran across campus to join hundreds celebrating on South University Ave.

About Myself: After working in Tokyo’s F/X and equity markets for 12 years after graduation, I decided to decompress and move my family (spouse, son and two daughters) to Orange County, CA.  A change in environment and career to a Sales & Marketing position in the manufacturing sector was a breath of fresh air. In 2011, a company transfer brought our family to Carmel, so I could finally bring everyone to experience game day at the Big House.
