What do you enjoy most about your role?

 

“The personal interaction that I have enjoyed with my clients over the years (and in many cases decades) is my primary focus and source of job satisfaction.  That, along with the opportunity to work for many years with my colleagues who are all first-class professionals, makes my role at Investment Trust Company self-actualizing.”

 

Where can we find you outside the office?

 

“My wife and I are avid travelers and have spent a lot of time in our two favorite destinations, Italy and Great Britain.  We have two grown children and enjoy time at home with our two Cavalier King Charles dogs, Pip and Stella.”
