Additional Information
I founded Columbus Street Financial Planning, LLC, in Dublin, OH, in 2019. For the last twenty years, I have worked in a fiduciary, fee-only capacity with high-net-worth clients. I founded Columbus Street on the idea that investment and comprehensive wealth management should not cost 1% (or more) of a client's portfolio value. Why should the advisor's fee increase simply because the market went up? It shouldn't.
My wife, Susan, and I reside in Grove City, Ohio, with our two children, Brady and Carter. Our leisure time is spent traveling to our nation's beautiful National Parks. I am also a ten-year veteran of the Ohio Army National Guard and serve at-risk children in our community through my participation in the Kiwanis Club of Columbus.
