I’m most passionate about the relationships I get to build with clients, both as professionals and as people.  I enjoy and get satisfaction from understanding my clients’ businesses and goals, helping them solve their challenges and helping new CCOs or compliance officers develop their own personal knowledge.  I’m naturally drawn toward complexity.  I am energized by attacking complex problems or client goals and digging into research.  The current regulatory environment for SEC-registered advisers and funds is as challenging as ever. I enjoy analyzing the new and amended rules, helping our team and clients get up to speed and figuring out how to best implement policies and practices to ensure our clients’ success.
