Being a son of a minority small business owner, I am no stranger to the work ethic it takes to maintain a successful business. Working in the hospitality industry from high school through the end of college also gave me the tools and knowledge for the professional workforce. After graduating from Portland State University, I began a successful career in the financial industry, where I spent about a decade in banking and wealth management. I take pride in my ability to really understand what it is that is so important to my clients and use that as a focus point every time we meet by always revisiting those goals.
