My style is to blend financial savvy with a passion for Bitcoin and conservative values. I seek to offer my clients and peers with a fresh, informed perspective on wealth management. I am interested in the intersection of behavior, incentives, and markets. My thoughts are inspired by the works of Srinivasan, Booth, Alden and many more. My values stem from my Christian faith. My hobbies, marriage, and involvement in communities keep me inspired. To stay active, I enjoy skiing, golfing, camping and hunting. #1 YIMBY and urbanist.
