Buying a home. Planning for children. Saving toward shared goals.

I don't share things like this very often, but I'm really proud of this one.

Earlier this year, I had the opportunity to tell the story of why I do what I do, and, more importantly, to include some of the people who have made that story possible.

My family. My team. The relationships built along the way. And the experiences that have shaped me over the years.

Life doesn't always go according to plan.

I've learned a lot from the good chapters, and probably even more from the difficult ones. All of it has influenced the husband, dad, friend, and financial advisor I try to be today.

This is a 30-second glimpse of that story.

One of the greatest privileges of building a team is getting to celebrate life's biggest milestones together.
This weekend, we had the joy of celebrating our very own Margaret Dunning and her husband, Nick, as they began this exciting new chapter. It was a beautiful wedding, and we were grateful to be there alongside our Oaktide team.

Congratulations, Margaret & Nick! Wishing you both a lifetime of love, laughter, and happiness.
