PERSONAL
Thanks for your interest in learning more about me and my business. I’m a transplanted New Yorker (always craving a slice of legit NY pizza) who has called St. Louis home for 25 years. I am married to the incredible Katie, my best friend, bride of my youth, and still the very best proof that I can sell! Our three children – one studying finance at Butler University, one in the architecture program at Kansas State, one graduating high school, headed to Purdue this fall – keep me working hard to pay tuition, and they bring us more joy than we can express. My life is compelled by the amazing news of the Gospel and I’m in awe of, and thankful for, Jesus’ grace, forgiveness, and acceptance. I’m a car guy and long time Porsche fanatic, a STL Cardinal and college hoops fan (Go Butler Bulldogs!) bird-lover, and my happy places are the Porsche Driving Experience Center and the California coastline.
