Favorite Thing About Working With Clients

“I like earning a position of influence with my clients over time so that they see enough value in the advice I give to them to take action.”

My Philosophy on Client Service

“Do what you say you are going to do and keep your promises.”

What I love About Greenspring

“The people. I have never worked with a group of people that are more committed to doing what’s best for clients and each other. I feel like we are a family at Greenspring where people connect with one another rather than compete against each other.”
