How I knew Watermark was the place for me
I knew Watermark was the place for me because of the people, the culture, and the unwavering commitment to growth. From the very beginning, I felt a genuine sense of belonging, purpose, and energy here. Watermark is a community that encourages, challenges, and supports each member. That overall sense of energy and alignment made it clear to me that Watermark is exactly where I’m meant to be.
Favorite aspect of what I do
My favorite part of what I do is that every day is different. I get to solve new challenges alongside passionate colleagues who are just as committed to helping our clients—and each other—reach our goals.
What inspires me, or what am I passionate about
What inspires me most is my faith, my family, and my personal drive—but above all, my wife. She motivates me every day to push myself to be the best man, husband, friend, and one day father I can be.
Outside of work, I am passionate about constantly learning and growing. I love diving into investing and personal finance, staying active with pickleball, and exploring my creative side through cars, photography, and videography. These passions keep me balanced, challenged, and inspired both personally and professionally.
When I’m not at work I’m probably…
When I’m not at work, I’m spending quality time with my wife, Haley, and our cat, Theo. If I’m not curled up with a James Patterson thriller or an investing book, you’ll probably catch me at the movies, binging the latest show, or exploring someplace new. And when it’s game time, I’m proudly cheering on my Purdue Boilermakers and the Colts!
