Additional Information
I am a Lititz native and grew up in a family of 7. From a young age, I have always found satisfaction in a diligent work ethic and accomplishing any job to the best of my ability. From ages 12 to 16, I delivered the morning newspaper to homes in the Butterfly Acres and Libramont neighborhoods. Then, like many local teens, I worked at one of the area grocery stores & then at one of the many great retirement communities during my high school and college years.
My wife, Megan, and I live in Lititz with our son & are excited to be welcoming a daughter later this year. Outside of the world of financial planning, I enjoy running & participating in obstacle course races, spending time with family, & watching movies & live music.
