In May of 2021, I graduated from Ohio University with a BSBA in Finance. After graduating, I decided to pursue a career in the golf business. Through my network, I grew caddying at the Pepper Pike Club, I moved to Scottsdale, AZ where I worked at Mirabel Golf Club for a few months as a part of their outside service operations team and caddie. The Head Golf Professional was quick to notice that my dedication, relationship building and love for the game would make me a great candidate to be an Assistant Golf Professional back home at Lakewood Country Club, where I spent the previous three years.  Although there were many aspects that I loved about the job, I quickly realized that this was not a work/life balance that was suitable for my long-term goals.  

I found Fairway Wealth Management through my connections at Lakewood Country Club, and I started working here in January of 2025. I was drawn to Fairway Wealth because I noticed a lot of parallel between the two jobs. Working in the golf industry has taught me how to create meaningful relationships with clients and provide top-tier service, something I look forward to developing further. My role here will primarily be working with the Investment Research Team, but I will also be a secondary advisor on client accounts. I am continuing my education by preparing to take the FINRA Series 65 exam, with plans of getting CFP or CIMA certified in the future.  

I currently reside in Lakewood and enjoy living an active lifestyle. If I am not golfing, running, playing sand volleyball, or lifting, you can probably find me trying a new restaurant or spending time with friends and family.
